Motion Controls LLC

The legacy of Motion Controls LLC started back in 1985, when Alkon Corporation sold its cylinder product lines to Pillar Corporation of Wisconsin. After this transaction Pillar Corporation re-established as Pillar Motion Controls in Hartford, Wisconsin. Five years later in 1990, independent investors with a background in Fluid Power purchased the product line and renamed the company to Motion Controls, Inc. Under these investor’s guidance the business experienced growth by investing in on-site manufacturing, enhancing customer service, improving lead times, and developing expertise in application specific projects and products. In Spring 1999, Motion Controls was sold to a new private investor who registered the business as Motion Controls, LLC. Finally in 2005, the company relocated to its current Hartford, Wisconsin location, featuring a new 25,000 square foot facility with room for future expansion. The company's renewed vision drove the development of the QVLA® process, and its inSight® sensor. To date, Motion Controls LLC manufactures durable, long lasting NFPA and Non-NFPA air cylinders with the option of integrating its new inSight® sensors into a variety of these products to provide analog position feedback. By offering a reliable position signal in a proven, compact pneumatic cylinder, Motion Controls LLC provides the necessary equipment to fuel Industry 4.0 changes.
