Custom Pneumatic Rotary Actuators for Harsh Environments
Cross’s CEO John King is joined by Norman Lane, President of Rotomation and Cross’s Wade Wright for a discussion about custom pneumatic rotary actuators for the 10th installment of our podcast, Innovating the Industrial World. Norman and Wade share examples of rotary actuators that Rotomation has developed for Cross customers in corrosive or extreme conditions.

What's New at Cross
Improve your Efficiency but Don't Bust your Budget with our Pre-Loved CMMs
Let’s face it, brand new dimensional measurement equipment is expensive! For some products and processes, it’s worth the money but for others, you need a more cost effective option. Cross Precision Measurement can help!
Over the past two years, we’ve been upgrading our Greenville, SC inspection lab. We’ve added new CMMs from LK and video measurement machines from OGP. As a result, we’re almost out of room!
To free up some floor space, we’re selling two of our older CMMs, a Wenzel LH65 and a Wenzel XO10.15.7.
Remote Access for Machine Maintenance Case Study
Mark Andy, a manufacturer of custom web-fed printing presses, faced significant travel costs associated with sending field engineers globally for machine maintenance. To solve this problem, they looked for a remote access solution to gather operational data and allow remote software updates. Red Lion’s OEMMBC00 industrial routers were the answer.
6 Key Benefits of Pinch Valves
Pinch valves are typically used in on/off applications. They can use many kinds of tubing and be configured in many different ways, but what other benefits do they provide? Check out this brief video from Cross partner Clippard to learn more.
Did You Know?
If you use Cross Precision Measurement for your calibration needs, all of your certs can be found in our calibration software, GageSuite. This award-winning software is completely free to you as a Cross calibration customer.
Cross Provides Tangible Value for You
Raise Quality
Multi-axis systems for linear motor stages can offer great benefits for precision motion control but determining the right stage with the correct features to make your multi-axis set up as simple and effective as possible is important.
Parker’s new XLM linear motor stage offers the ability and ease to create a robust multiple axis system for your precision application.
Improve Efficiency
Pneumatic rotary actuators play a pivotal role in the world of automation, bringing a blend of high torque and robust construction in a cost-effective, compact component. However, getting optimal performance from these actuators requires careful attention to some details. Cross’s partner Rotomation addresses these common challenges here.
Improve Efficiency
Searching for the optimal technology for your electrical cylinder application? Start by taking a detailed look into the load rating capabilities of the complete cylinder. Don’t trust only the physical basic characteristics of the ball screw and the planetary roller screw.
Parker’s ETH125 has a 17% higher dynamic load rating, a 300% longer lifetime expectation and a reduced 20% footprint.
