Quality Product Quality has always been important to Vektek. This product line is no exception. Some quality features include:  PHC TM (Pneumatic Hardcoat), for wrought aluminum surfaces, extends the life of many of our devices. This is a hard anodizing procedure. Internal surfaces are also hard coated and rods are chrome plated for corrosion and maximum abrasion resistance.  Magnetic position sensors are available and all the pistons are magnetized. Simply order the sensor if you want it! It doesn’t add to the envelope of the cylinder since the switch mounts below the clamp surface. LED indicator switches help reduce set-up time.  Make connections easily with Vektek’s for most cylinders. The channel for the sensor is built into each cylinder already, push-to-connect tubing. It functions with Nylon 11 for inch sizes or Nylon 12 for metric sizes. Fittings are shipped with non-PTFE based thread sealant applied. Standard NPT ports are used.  All dynamic seals are made of internally

Why Use Vektor Air TM ? Since the 1980’s, Vektek has researched, designed, manufactured, direct-sold and serviced the VektorFlo ® line of hydraulic clamping devices. During this time, we have often had requests for pneumatic products. While we have successfully converted many of our hydraulic clamps for air use, we wanted to offer a complete line of pneumatic products, specifically designed to meet the requests we were hearing about. We are now proud to offer you the VektorAir TM line of pneumatic swing clamps, toggles, valves, hardware and plumbing accessories, designed specifically for clamping. We think you will find many uses for these. Durable enough for use in machining and welding operations, they are also a good fit for woodworking, assembly and automation. We’ve created our pneumatic line with the same careful detail to quality that we give our hydraulic clamps. Moreover, we back them with applications staff, our VektorAir TM warranty and our signature service before and after the sale.
