Inventors of the Original Pancake®
In 1958, Fabco-Air created the compact, short-stroke Pancake® cylinder that became an industry standard for space-limited automation. The same design intent—compact, rugged, and adaptable—runs through Pancake® II, F-Series, H-Series, and NFPA cylinders.
Custom strokes, mounts, and materials are routine. More than half of what Fabco-Air builds is a special, so unusual envelopes and OEM variations are expected rather than delayed.
Why Coast stocks Fabco-Air
Coast Pneumatics stocks the Fabco-Air cylinder families most often specified on North American machines: Original Pancake®, Pancake® II, stainless F-Series, H-Series Humphrey interchange, and NFPA / FCQN actuators.
That mix covers compact motion, round-body interchange, and full NFPA replacement—with short lead times on both catalog and custom units. Ask Coast for CAD, an interchange, or a quote before the line is waiting on a cylinder.
