Two versions:
Multi-purpose (MP) products feature an oil resistant nitrile inner tube, reinforcing plies with a helical wire, and a neoprene cover.
- Temperature range: -20°F to + 180°

- 75 PSI Max. working pressure
- Full vacuum rating
General Service (GS) products feature an EPDM inner tube and cover with reinforcing plies with a helical wire. ![]()
- Temperature range: -40°F to +257°F

Series KG Impact Sensor
The PHD Series KG Impact Sensor easily attaches to and monitors any piece of equipment that has motion. Featuring single-axis/bi-directional sensitivity, the sensor attaches to the moving part of a machine or device and monitors impact. A PLC can interpret the signal to warn of erratic operation or shut down a system to prevent catastrophic failure. 
KG Programmer
Using the KG Programmer, the KG Impact Sensor also can measure an impact and relay that value to the user. A single programmer has the ability to service an unlimited number of impact sensors throughout an entire plant.
Advantages:
- Bi-directional/single axis sensitivity, single or dual point operation, user defined, rewriteable setpoints, attaches easily to moving mass, fail-safe output signal.
- Helps to reduce unanticipated downtime.
- Minimizes unnecessary preventive maintenance.
- Flags appropriate personnel of machine crash.
- Stops production of bad parts as result of miscalibration caused by severe crash.
ML20 Markless Sensor
Eliminate the need for print marks
Using pattern recognition, the ML20 Markless sensor detects the cutting position for label applications without the use of print marks.
This completely new technology provides reliable detection, even with complex images means more freedom when designing packaging while allowing for more efficient utilization of space on the product instead of using unnecessary print marks and place markers.
- Tough metal housing
- Scanning speed of 7 m/s
- Monitor process quality via a Ethernet
- Easy sensor teach-in and alignment
- Reproducibility of 0.6 mm (2 Sigma)
PHD’s Series SFM Multiple Position Slide
Modular multi-position stop system
The News SFM Slideincludes optional mid-position actuators and adjustable end stops to support diverse applications. Multiple intermediate stopping positions are available, limited only by the length of the slide. The new design allows switches to be mounted at any point along the slide’s travel and offers optional travel adjustment for precise positioning.
Series SFM standards include, a stainless steel band and saddle seal to protect the precision bearing system from dirt and contaminants, as well as port positions and mounting. An optional cap mounted shock absorber to absorb end-of-travel kinetic energy and saddle mounted shock absorbers provide smooth deceleration.

Intelligent Actuator Introduces the RCP4
The RCP4 electric cylinders feature longer strokes, faster speeds and larger load capacity.
Equipped with the new high-performance PowerCON drive controller the RCP4 series has improved maximum speeds of up to 1.5 times over previous models.
A new body structure has improve load bearing and stability, doubling the load capacity and extending the obtainable stroke lengths to 500mm. The new design has also greatly reduces backlash and deflection by the guide rod.
The RCP4 is available in 3 slider type sizes and 2 rod type configurations.
Ease of Maintenance
Only one set screw to complete motor replacement
RCP4 Slider-type mounting holes are interchangeable with RCP2 type. The RCP2 can be directly replaced with the RCP4.
