Pneumatics

At Matara UK, we have been supplying the UK market with the very latest in pneumatic automation components for the last 30 years. As a key partner to Taiwanese manufacturer Mindman, we have built a strong reputation as a pneumatic cylinder supplier. We can supply a comprehensive core pneumatics range designed to suit a range of applications and industrial environments.

What Is Pneumatics?

Pneumatics refers to the process of using compressed air to power mechanical systems. It has a variety of helpful applications, with pneumatic automation being used to power everyday tools, manufacturing and construction equipment, and robotics.

How Does Pneumatics Work?

Pneumatics utilises an air compressor to power mechanical processes. By drawing air in, compressing it, and then distributing it through tubing, pneumatics powers actuators such as cylinders and motors. Pneumatic valves are used to control this air distribution, allowing for deliberate movement of pistons and other pneumatic automation components.

Air Preparation Products

View our range of air preparation products, including air filters, regulators, and lubricators, which are suitable for use within compressed air systems, including FR and FRL combined units.

Our air preparation solutions treat air that is supplied by compressors. This can often become contaminated with dirt, oil, or water while running through the compressed air system. Additionally, these air preparation systems ensure that air is delivered at the correct pressure.

Pneumatic Cylinder Suppliers

As recognised pneumatic cylinder suppliers, we have the expertise to design and deliver a wide range of Mindman solutions thanks to our longstanding relationship.

The majority of industrial applications rely on linear motion to assist in the operating sequence. This is what makes pneumatic cylinders a popular choice for many industrial applications, as they are often the most cost-effective way to accomplish this linear motion.

Polyurethane Tubing Products

Designed to work in conjunction with our core pneumatics selection, the Mindman polyurethane tubing range works to ensure the cleanliness of air within air preparation systems.

Solenoid Valves Manufactured By Mindman

Suitable for a range of industrial applications, our solenoid valve range is designed to shut off, release, dose, distribute, or mix fluids across various industrial applications.

As world-renowned solenoid valve manufacturers, Mindman can provide a solenoid valve solution for all applications.
