PSS Precision Step Systems

Electro-Pneumatic Motion Control products

PSS is a range of electro-pneumatic clutch/brake units for high specification positioning applications where the application demands

High precision - +/- 0.1mm at 1m/sec feed rates
High cycling frequency - up to 3600 cycles/min
Consistent performance throughout unit life time - no need to reset after set no. of cycles
Flexibility through simple control electronics - no programming expertise required
Predictable lifetime and maintenance requirements - simple mechanical disk replacement
The PSS range encompasses vacuum-operated clutch/brake (SRA), air-operated clutch/brakes (RotaStep and EasyStep), fast linear actuators (FLA) and electronic controls, sensors and accessories to complete systems for positioning applications.
Providing start/stop cycles at up to 3600/min (60/sec) with consistently precise timing, these units achieve position tolerances of +/- 0.1mm at feed rates of 1m/sec.
