Pneumatic and Electronic Controls

Pneumatic directional control valves are pivotal components within pneumatic systems, responsible for determining the path of compressed air flow and subsequently controlling the movement of actuators. These valves govern the direction in which air travels, enabling the activation and deactivation of pneumatic cylinders or other actuators that perform mechanical tasks. With the ability to switch between multiple ports, pneumatic directional control valves facilitate intricate automation processes, allowing machinery to execute precise movements and sequences. Whether in manufacturing lines, robotics, or other industrial settings, these valves are indispensable for achieving efficient and accurate motion control, contributing to enhanced productivity and streamlined operations.

Pneumatic cylinders and actuators are used in a variety of industrial applications. Pneumatic cylinders and actuators use compressed air to create a force in a linear or rotary motion. Pneumatic cylinders come in various sizes and shapes and can be used for many different applications. Pneumatic cylinders and actuators are an essential part of many industries, and we are proud to offer our customers a wide selection of products. At Centro, we carry a complete selection of pneumatic cylinders and actuators, including rotary actuators and linear cylinders.

Centro carries a complete selection of motor control products available to purchase online. Industrial motor controllers are devices that regulate the speed and torque of an electric motor. VFDs control the speed of an AC induction motor's speed by varying the power supply frequency. DC drives do the same thing but for DC motors. On the other hand, soft starters gradually ramp the voltage to an electric motor to avoid mechanical stress and electrical damage that can occur when starting a motor from a dead stop. Industrial motor controllers are used in various applications where precise control of an electric motor is required, such as in pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and machine tools. Motor control products carried by Centro include contactors, variable frequency drives, DC drives, and soft starters. These products are available in various sizes and configurations to suit any application. Whether you need a simple contactor for a small motor or a complex multi-drive system for an extensive industrial process, Centro has the products you need to get the job done. Please browse our website to learn more.
