Products
Cylinders
When it comes to cylinders, efficiency matters. Even though our compact linear actuators take up less space than competitors’ products, they deliver the same power as larger competitive products. This allows you to downsize without compromising power capacity.
Nason’s custom-drilled cylinders are precision-manufactured in the USA from durable aluminum or stainless steel, for greater flexibility, better performance, and longer seal & cylinder life.
1. Hydraulic Cylinders
Nason’s compact, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders transfer force through uncompressible hydraulic fluid to move pistons in a desired direction.
L Series
Available in three models (LS, LE and LH), Nason’s L Series Low Pressure Hydraulic Cylinders (20mm - 76mm bore, 500PSI) were designed with today’s automation equipment in mind.
L15 Series
Nason’s L15 Series 1500 PSI Hydraulic Cylinders were designed to offer compact, long-lasting performance for low-friction applications.
L20 Series
Nason’s L20 Series 2000 PSI small hydraulic cylinders offer long-lasting performance. These higher-pressure cylinders deliver heavy-duty performance for today’s most demanding applications. Magnetic sensor option available.
2. Pneumatic Air Cylinders
Nason’s pneumatic cylinders are compact air cylinders that convert the potential energy of compressed gas to linear mechanical energy.
Proportional Control Systems
The high output of a pneumatic cylinder with the programmability of an electric actuator.
H-Block Series
Ideal for automated systems, manufacturing operations, and other demanding load-bearing applications, these rugged linear actuators accept linear ball bearings with case hardened steel guide rods to provide high load capacity, low deflection, and low friction.
L Series Pneumatic
Available in three models (LS, LE and LH), Nason’s L Series pneumatic cylinders were designed with today’s automation equipment in mind.
CR Series Stainless
Designed for smooth startup and operation, the CR Series’ precision-machined stainless steel components and low-friction bearings ensure long life and effortless operation.
SC Series
Available in seven different mounting styles and three rod end configurations, Nason’s compact SC Series stopper cylinders were designed for today’s demanding conveyor systems — with more power in a smaller footprint than comparable models on the market.
LC Series
Available in both side- and rear-mounted variations, Nason’s LC Series guided pneumatic cylinders were designed for today’s demanding design requirements. These compact, load-carrying pneumatic cylinders are non-rotating and deliver long-lasting performance.
NFPA Series
Nason’s NFPA Series 250 PSI pneumatic cylinders feature precision-machined bores and floating rod bearings, delivering the highest-quality engineering available.
3. Accessories
From custom engraving and limit sensors to alignment couplers and shock pads, Nason has the cylinder accessories needed for your specific application.
Switches
Unlike competitors’ switches, that “creep” between on and off, Nason pressure switches, pneumatic switches, and temperature switches are built for reliable positioning. Made in the USA, these compact and customizable switches feature a snap-action device, which makes their design more precise and repeatable. Their elastomer diaphragms or pistons move a precise .040 of an inch to ensure accurate, instantaneous contact under all operating conditions. Our pneumatic, temperature and pressure switches are UL, CSA, and military approved with an operational life of over one million cycles and a large variety of electrical connections. Need a switch with specs you don’t see? Just ask us. We’ll be happy to custom build it for you.
1.Vacuum Switches
With factory preset or field adjustable versions, vacuum models range from 1" to 29"Hg. These switches are 100% tested for accuracy and are available as NEMA 4 and 13.
JV
The compact, field-adjustable JV adjustable vacuum switch is built to last and customizable to fit your specific applications. A variety of base material options are available, including brass, aluminum, nickel-plated, delrin, 303 SS, 316 SS, and CF.
VM
The VM vacuum switch offers a space-efficient, cost-effective solution, designed to handle positive pressure and factory-set for tamper resistance out of the box.
VF
The VF fixed vacuum switch offers a space-efficient, cost-effective solution and is factory-set for tamper resistance.
2. Temperature Switches
Used in a wide variety of manufacturing and industrial processes, Nason’s temperature switches act as a limit sensor, opening or closing a circuit when temperature rises above or falls below a defined setpoint. Nason’s temperature sensor switches feature a “no-creep” design with a snap-action electrical device activated by an elastomer diaphragm or piston. These temperature switches keep their contacts in either an open or closed state. When sensors indicate that a precise pre-determined temperature has been reached, they snap over center to a new state. They will remain in this state until the thermal readings rise or fall back over the set point, triggering the temperature switches to snap back to their original state.Our temperature switches offer a wide variety of electrical connection options, are fully customizable and have an operational life of over one million cycles under most operating conditions.
TF
Affordable and compact, the TF is designed for lower temperature applications up to 100,000 cycles and has hysteresis built-in.
TW
The factory-set TW temperature switch features set points from 140-300ºF (60-148ºC). These hydraulic temperature sensors offer a wide differential utilizing a snap action device.
TT
The factory-set TT temperature switch features set points from 40-300ºF (4-148ºC). These hydraulic temperature sensors offer the industry’s largest range of media connections and probe lengths.
Transducer
Unlike switches, which are either on or off, pressure, vacuum and temperature transducers provide a continuous output range as they convert measurements into various outputs. Nason’s compact transducers range from basic temperature transducers to highly customized wireless pressure transducers. Hydraulic and pneumatic designs with accuracy ranges of 1%, .4% & .25% and .15% and vacuum ranges up to 10,000 PSI serve a variety of industrial applications. Not sure where to start?
