Metal Work Product Lines — Overview

Directional Control Valves

Metal Work directional control valves are the core of any pneumatic control system. The range includes 3/2, 5/2 and 5/3 way solenoid valves in monostable and bistable versions, available as single valves or valve island assemblies (ISLAND system). Metal Work valves are known for their compact design, high flow rates and long service life — making them suitable for demanding applications in packaging, food processing and automotive assembly.

Pneumatic Cylinders & Actuators

Metal Work supplies a full range of pneumatic cylinders including standard ISO 15552 cylinders, compact cylinders (series CM, MCSI), rodless cylinders and guided cylinders. These actuators are used in pick-and-place systems, clamping devices, conveying equipment and assembly machines. Common bore sizes range from 12mm to 250mm with strokes from 1mm to 2000mm.

Compressed Air Treatment — FRL Units

Metal Work Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) units and modular air treatment systems clean, regulate and lubricate compressed air for pneumatic equipment. The Futura series and MINIBLOCK series offer compact, modular construction suitable for both small machines and large automation systems. Spare parts such as filter elements, regulator diaphragms and lubricator bowls are regularly ordered by our customers.

Fittings & Tubing

Metal Work push-in fittings, threaded fittings and polyurethane tubing connect pneumatic components quickly and reliably. Available in straight, elbow, T and Y configurations in a wide range of thread sizes and tube outer diameters from 4mm to 16mm. The PUSH-IN range is compatible with standard polyurethane and nylon tubing.

Pressure Regulators & Proportional Valves

Metal Work pressure regulators control operating pressure precisely in pneumatic circuits. The REGTRONIC proportional pressure regulator allows electronic pressure control — ideal for force control applications, testing equipment and servo-pneumatic systems.
