Entering the
Pneumatics field in 1939, Mead Fluid Dynamics has over 68 years of
experience in the fluid power market. Mead has long been a leader in the
development of the pneumatic components that shape our industry today,
from pneumatic actuators to air presses. |

Control
Valves |
|
Whether it’s a
pneumatic solenoid valve or a foot, hand or button valve, Mead Fluid
Dynamics air valves are designed to handle the most demanding pneumatic
control applications. Mead Fluid Dynamics has pneumatic valves for most
every industry application.

Isonic Valves
Isonic® valves
feature a unique, multi-patented design that significantly shrinks valve
size while boosting flow capacity. With its design and a
state-of-the-art manufacturing process, Isonic® breaks through
the restriction and limitations of conventional valve manufacturing. |
 |
Nova Control
Valves
Nova 4-way
directional control valves offer state-of-the-art air valve design at a
remarkably low price. Nova utilizes a single bonded rubber spool with
finely ground sealing lands that travel only .047". This economy of
movement assures long valve life yet generates enough flow to power a 4"
bore cylinder.
|
|
 |
Capsula
Valves
Mead’s Capsula
valves work long and hard even when subjected to dirty air. Their unique
patented bi-lobed seals are wear compensating, self cleaning, and are
completely retained to prevent extrusion. |
 |
Dura-matic
Valves
Dura-matic 4-way
valves not only control cylinder direction but also control cylinder rod
speed. Most models include easy-to-use built-in flow controls that
permit the user to establish cylinder speeds right at the directional
valve. |
|
 |
Low Stress
Valve
Ergonomically
designed to respond to extremely weak actuation forces, Mead’s low
stress valve will perform at the mere “brushing” of your finger. This
valve will dramatically reduce the demands on your workers’ hands,
wrists and arms. |
 |
Light Touch Valves
LTV valves are
compact 4-way valves that may be actuated by hand, remote air signal,
electric signal or mechanically by a machine element. They are ideal for
powering small or medium sized cylinders and for piloting larger valves. |
|
 |
Micro-line
Air Switches
MV air switches
are 3-way air pilot valves that are identical in size, actuating style,
and mounting characteristics to most industrial type electric limit
switches. |
 |
Foot, Hand & Button Valves
These compact
poppet-type air valves provide economical cam, fingertip, palm, hand,
and foot actuation. 3-way models are ideal for actuating single-acting
cylinders and 4-way directional valves. |
|
Cylinders |
|
Pneumatic
cylinders (sometimes referred to as air cylinders or NFPA Cylinders) are
mechanical devices which harness the power of a compressed gas
(typically air) to produce a mechanical force. Since 1939 Mead Fluid
Dynamics has been manufacturing ruggedly designed pneumatic cylinders
with exceptional quality that meet or exceed the latest NFPA
specifications.

Heavy Duty
Cylinders
Combining NFPA
dimensional interchangeability and high quality components, the “HD”
Series offers excellent performance and long service life, even in the
most severe of conditions. |
 |
Centaur
Cylinders
Centaur
cylinders are built to match tie-rod performance, but are up to 45% less
expensive and offer lubrication-free service. Centuar cylinders are not
permanently crimped like most other round cylinders. |
|
 |
Space Saver ™
Cylinders
Low Profile
cylinders provide the power and stroke of standard cylinders in less
than half the space. They are ideally suited for use in machinery where
space and weight are at a premium. |
 |
Single-Acting
Air Clamps
Economical
single-acting air clamps provide gripping power on the out stroke and
spring retraction. They are ideal for use in drill fixtures and for
bending, swaging, forming, crimping, & pressing operations. |
|
 |
Mini
Adjustable Location Cylinders
Miniature air
cylinders offers users a wide range of low-profile linear actuators.
These versatile cylinders are available in both single-acting and
double-acting models. They are ideal actuators in any application where
space is limited. |
 |
Dyna-Mation
Series
DM2 cylinders
are constructed with an extruded body design rather than a tie-rod
design, making these cylinders better suited for clean environments. |
|
 |
Small Bore
Tie Rod
Available in
3/4" and 1-1/8" Bore sizes. The 1-1/8" size is available with many
different mounting styles and cylinder options such as cushions for
shock absorption, Inter-pilots for end of stroke sensing and others, see
sizes and options. |
 |
HD1 Large
Bore
Combining NFPA
dimensional interchangeability and high quality components, the HD1
Large Bore Series offers excellent performance and long service life,
even in the most severe of conditions. |
