Our Pneumatic Range
Air Preparation
Properly prepared compressed air is crucial for the optimal functioning of your pneumatic ring-main and machinery. Control Gear offers a vast selection of filters, regulators, and lubricators, including the Norgren Olympian Plus and Excelon combination units, to meet your air preparation needs.
Directional Control Valves
In Swansea’s rapidly advancing industrial landscape, pneumatic valves can range from simple to highly complex. Control Gear’s expert team in Swansea can assist in selecting and supplying the ideal valves for any application. IMI Norgren provides an extensive selection of valve options, including top brands such as Buschjost, Herion, FAS, and Maxseal, ensuring the best fit for your pneumatic needs.
Pneumatic & Electric Cylinders & Actuators
Control Gear provides a broad selection of single and double-acting pneumatic cylinders designed to deliver both motion and force. This includes a variety of options such as profile cylinders, compact cylinders, roundline cylinders, and rodless cylinders, along with all necessary accessories and mounting options to fit any system.
Proportional Valves
Proportional valves, also known as I/P or E/P converters, translate variable electrical signals into corresponding compressed air outputs. Control Gear provides a range of options, including open-loop and closed-loop control, fail-freeze capabilities, and ATEX-approved models, catering to different industrial needs and ensuring precise performance.
Safety Valves
When it comes to safety, every precaution matters. Control Gear provides safety valves designed to help businesses meet the stringent requirements of DIN ISO 13849-1. IMI Norgren, a leader in safety technology, offers a range of valves, including self-monitoring, press control, two-hand control, and lockout options to ensure maximum operational safety.
Valve Islands
Valve islands, or manifolds, simplify machine installations by reducing assembly complexity and streamlining fault diagnosis. The Control Gear team offers expert guidance on these advanced systems. With Norgren’s VR, VM, and VS Valve Island range, flexibility is at its peak. The modular plug-in sub-base design enables easy valve replacement. The VM features a strong, lightweight polymer manifold, while the VS boasts a die-cast aluminium base system conforming to ISO standards, with options for a soft seal or glandless spool technology.
Pressure Switches & Sensors
Control Gear offers a versatile selection of pressure switches suitable for various applications, including air, water, hydraulic systems, and other fluids. We also provide ATEX-certified and LABS-free models, as well as options for extreme temperature environments. For more precise and long-lasting solutions, electronic pressure sensors are ideal, particularly when mechanical switches fall short in terms of functionality or accuracy.
