PHD Inc. was founded this month in 1957. Over 60 years of innovation, PHD has made automation work better and more efficiently for manufacturers around the world. The first product developed (and still popular today) was the Tom Thumb pneumatic cylinder. Today PHD manufactures a broad offering of products used for industrial automation.
These actuators provide the motion to push, pull, lift, rotate, turn, grip, and orient parts or materials in a variety of manufacturing processes.
PHD prides itself on manufacturing high precision and extremely long-life components.
