Description

 

These Pneumatic Muscles (or McKibben actuators) are made of silicone tubing wrapped with plastic mesh to avoid explosion. Both end are made with Acetal and grooved to retain the silicone tube with common plumbery clips. The air connector is a 90-degree swivel fitting for a standard 1/4" air tube.
