Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid powered linear slide employing either a rodless or rod-type cylinder. The slide includes a base which has a movable carriage mounted thereon which moves reciprocably in response to pressurized fluid being fed to the cylinder. In the embodiment employing a rod-type cylinder, a pair of tubular rods are mounted on the base in a fixed position and attached to a piston stationarily mounted inside the cylinder which is movably mounted and attached to the carriage. In the other embodiment, the carriage is mounted on a bracket which is attached to the rodless cylinder carried in the housing for the cylinder. The base has linear guideways therein, each guideway carrying one or more stop members which are manually adjustable and electrically or fluidly actuated.

Abstract: A rotary actuator having a housing defining an opening, an output shaft extending through the opening, a stator vane and rotor vane associated with the output shaft and opening to define a plurality of actuation chambers and an inner surface of the housing extending inwardly past a shoulder portion of the output shaft to seal directly against the shaft.

Abstract: A fluid pressure cylinder of the rodless type having a reciprocally movable piston, an elongated slot within the cylinder and an improved sealing element for successively sealing the elongated slot during movement of the piston. The improved sealing element is constructed of a generally flexible material and includes a sealing portion for creating a seal against the inner side wall of the cylinder adjacent to the elongated slot and a portion which is adapted for at least partial insertion wthin the slot so as to retain the seal member within the slot during an absence of pressure within the cylinder.

Abstract: A button cell package in which button cells are releasably retained in position by an adhesive surface layer on a laminated structure having a resilient layer between the adhesive layer and a nonresilient base. An additional layer having preferential barrier properties is used with cells of the metal-air type and is located between the adhesive surface layer and the resilient member. The adhesive layer seals the metal-air cell to increase cell shelf life and prevents inadvertent dislodgment and loss of cell capacity, yet permits small amounts of evolved hydrogen to diffuse from the cell. The resilient layer serves as a cushion and provides a means for obtaining maximum surface contact between the adhesive surface layer and the button cell surface to maintain the cell in impact-resistant, releasable adhesive contact with the adhesive layer. The method of assembling the package is also described.
