Fife LAB-8 Electromechanical Actuator
Read MoreHeavy, electro-mechanical actuator with maximum static thrust of ca. 12.500N
The LAB-8 is a heavy duty electromechanical actuator from Fife, predominantly for unwind / rewind stands. The LAB-10A also provides a variety of mounting options which offers a high degree of flexibility in order to meet different requirements. The mechanical design ensures low friction, effective and precise operation. Limit Switches are not necessary when driven by Fife signal amplifiers. Therefore, no on-going maintenance is required.

FIFE-200 Web Guiding System
Read MoreThe FIFE-200 is a small web guide and controller designed for small webs and battery guiding applications.
Featuring a low profile and low tensions guiding system, color touch screen operator interface with support for 16 languages and a brushless motor, the FIFE-200 can run up to four units off a single operator interface. -
Fife MicroSymat Offset Pivot Guide
Read MoreThe MicroSymat is a super-compact electromechanical guiding system designed specifically for narrow-web guiding applications. This single-roll offset pivot guide is available with two standard roller faces: 80 mm (3.15 inches), and 100 mm (3.94 inches), with diameters of 50 mm (1.97 inches), 75 mm (2.95 inches), 100 mm (3.94 inches). Maximum allowed tension is 100N (22.5 lbf).
Depending on your needs and sensor(s) selected, the MicroSymat delivers precise, reliable operation in edge, center, or line guide applications. A Servo-Center transducer provides automatic guide centering to speed the setup and threading process, resulting in minimum downtime and reduced waste.

Fife LRB Offset Pivot Guide
Read MoreThe LRB offset pivot guide is designed for reliable performance using either an electromechanical actuator or hydraulic cylinder as a power source. Constructed with low-friction ball bushings and precision race rod supports, this versatile guide delivers low-maintenance operation for edge, line, or center guiding applications.
This offset pivot guide can accommodate web widths up to 76.0” (1,930 mm) wide, and tensions up to 563 lbf (2,504 N). Standard guides are equipped with a mounting base for mounting either inside your framework (Type 40) or on top (Type 50) with mounting dimensions designed to match your requirements.

Fife SP-5, SP-11, SP-12 Pneumatic Sensor
Read MoreThese small, versatile sensors are best suited for guiding most types of clear and opaque webs. The SP-5 has a built-in 0.05” (1.27 mm) dead band for guiding webs that have uneven or ragged edges. The SP-11 and SP 12 are used to accurately guide all varieties of smooth edged webs. All are intrinsically safe, and can be used in hazardous areas where combustible gases are present.
Designed for use with Fife’s pneumohydraulic power units and control systems, the sensor bodies are constructed of black reinforced nylon, and the air supply and signal recovery inserts are made of natural nylon. The sensors are resistant to most solvents such as esters, ketones, alcohols, and hydrocarbons, as well as alkali and salt solutions. They are susceptible to phenols, formic acid, strong mineral agents, and strong oxidizing agents.

Fife SP-1, SP-3259, SP-7171 Pneumatic Sensors
Read MoreAccurate. Durable. Flexible. Designed for use with Fife’s pneumohydraulic power units and control systems, these sensors are used to guide all varieties of webs, especially opaque and clear films. The SP-1 sensor features a black anodized aluminum body, and is the larger of the three. The SP-3259 and SP-7171 also feature black anodized aluminum bodies, differing only in air supply and signal porting, and are often selected for use in restricted spaces. All are available as corrosion-resistant assemblies.

Fife SP-2317, SP-2633 Pneumatic Sensors
Read MoreRuggedly built for the most physically demanding applications, these sensors are used to accurately guide most types of materials, especially opaque webs and clear films. The two sensors are basically the same, differing only in overall height and sensing gap. The SP-2317 has a sensing gap of 2.25” (57 mm), the widest of any standard Fife pneumatic sensor, while the SP-2633 has a sensing gap of 1.0” (25 mm).
These sensors are designed for use with Fife pneumohydraulic power units and control systems. Standard sensor bodies are black anodized aluminum, with optional corrosion-resistant assemblies available. Both sensors are intrinsically safe, capable of reliable operation in hazardous areas where combustible gases are present.

Fife SP-13, SM-1760 Pneumatic Sensors
Read MoreThe SP-13 and SM-1760 are feeler-palm pneumatic sensors that have an extended arm, which physically contacts the edge of the web. The SM-1760 is used to accurately guide many types of slow-moving webs. The SP-13 is a more rugged version of the SM-1760. It features a ceramic pad attached to the feeler palm, and is commonly used with abrasive webs. Optional feeler-palm styles and configurations are available to match your material and installation requirements.
Designed for use with Fife’s pneumohydraulic power units and control systems, these sensors are ruggedly built to handle the most physically demanding applications. Both the SP-13 and SM-1760 have a feeler palm stroke of approximately ±0.3” (7.6 mm), which is extended about 2.0” (52 mm) from the sensor body. (This dimension will vary depending upon the actual feeler palm selected for your application.)
