Products & services

Pneumatic Motion
Correct compressed air preparation is essential for optimum performance of your pneumatic ring-main and equipment. IMI Norgren are experts in the FRL arena, where our ranges have been at the forefront of industry for many years. Our product ranges, including Olympian Plus and Excelon Plus, are available from individual to combination units. Excelon® Plus Excelon® Plus has been designed with safety in mind. Tamper resistant features are built in as standard, with padlock features on the filter-regulator, regulator and shut-off valves. A rotating safety shut-off valve makes it easy to isolate the system with no reduction in performance; a unique double safety bowl lock, with an audible bowl clip plus a safety detent when pressurised, makes it impossible to remove the bowl when in use. The new and improved filter maintenance system allows the filter element assembly to be removed with the bowl, enabling faster and cleaner servicing. It also features our unique Quikclamp system locking Excelon Plus modules together. With the new safety and functionality features and a compact and lightweight design with no compromise on robustness, Excelon Plus helps keep customers’ machines running smoothly across several industries including factory automation, steel production, petrochemical and the rail industry. We offer a comprehensive range of high performance IMI Norgren pneumatic cylinders and actuators that have been proven in the market over many years. Our market leading range of ISO standard cylinders has been proven in the market over many years and in the most challenging environments. Backed by our standard warranty the range comes in 11 different bore sizes and offers stroke lengths of up to 3 metres. Running costs and total cost of ownership can be optimised using our low friction levels to operate at lower air pressures. Our ISO standard cylinder ranges conform to the following international standards: • ISO 15552 • ISO 6431 • VDMA 24562 • NFE 49-003-1

Electric Motion
The requirements for modern industrial automation applications are becoming increasingly complex, therefore it is essential to select the best possible motion control solution for each application. Electric motion offers the perfect solution when precise control, accurate positioning, repeatability, or wear-free operation are essential. Our expanded range of high-performance electric motion solutions is suited to a variety of applications including material handling, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, battery manufacture and factory automation. Our electric motion range includes electric cylinders, linear axis and custom-built cartesian and gantry systems for multi axis applications. The wide range of drive, guide and profile options, with over 100,000,000 possible configurations, allows us to design and manufacture solutions that offer complete flexibility. From improving the speed, productivity, and reliability of equipment, to generating significant energy and efficiency savings, or lowering the total cost of ownership, our electric motion solutions deliver Breakthrough Engineering you can count on.

Fluid Control
Fluid Control Valves control the flow of a medium through a system, and are also commonly known as Process Valves. Found in a wide variety of applications from medical to automotive to process, applications typically involve the transfer of fluids and/or solids in a pipe around a system. The medium could be compressed air, industrial gas, or other substances such as acids, alkalis, fuel or steam. Through flexible, scalable and agile innovation, we help our customers solve their current challenges and create competitive advantage for the future. Our valves and complete system solutions control liquids and gases, enabling machine builders to improve design functionality and keep safety and sustainability at the forefront of innovation.
