We supply profile, roundline, compact, and rodless cylinders, all supported by an extensive selection of mounting options and accessories, ensuring compatibility and functionality across different applications.
Proportional Valves
Proportional valves, often referred to as I/P or E/P converters, convert electrical signals into proportional compressed air outputs. Control Gear’s range includes valves with features such as open and closed loop control, fail-freeze functions, and ATEX certification, ensuring flexible and safe operation in demanding environments.

Valve islands, or manifolds, improve machine assembly efficiency and ease fault diagnosis. Control Gear offers expert technical support for using these intricate systems. Norgren’s VR, VM, and VS ranges set new standards in flexibility and modularity. The plug-in design ensures valves can be easily replaced during installation or maintenance. The VM range features a robust polymer manifold, while the VS range offers an aluminium base system conforming to ISO standards, with options for soft seal or glandless spool technology.

Electronic pressure sensors provide superior accuracy, longevity, and functionality, making them ideal for applications where mechanical pressure switches may not be effective.
