Aventics Pneumatics
Pneumatics
Aventics - a Emerson brand - delivers precision pneumatic components engineered to ISO 15552, ISO 6432, and VDMA 24562, covering bore diameters from 8 mm to 320 mm in round-line and compact cylinders, with operating pressures ranging from 0.5 bar to 16 bar and temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C. Valve islands and individual directional control valves achieve response times as low as 8 ms, flow rates up to 1,400 l/min (Cv 0.35-1.10), and switching frequencies exceeding 10 Hz in continuous duty - conforming to IEC 61000-6-2 and IEC 61000-6-4 for industrial EMC environments.
As an authorised distributor, fluidics-equipment.com stocks 78,573 Aventics line items spanning cylinders, valves, air preparation units (FRL sets), sensors, vacuum technology, and connection technology - all traceable to CE and RoHS declarations of conformity. Series such as the SM6 valve manifold, the Classic Line CL and Series 1 cylinders, and the AV05 air preparation modules are available for same-day dispatch on verified stock positions.
