Zaytran, Inc.
Elyria, Ohio automation component maker founded 1980; makes grippers, Ford/GM/Chrysler-approved locating pins, and welding locators.
Zaytran, Inc. is a US manufacturer of pneumatic and hydraulic automation components, founded in 1980 by a team that had previously started Manatrol, a hydraulic valve maker now part of Parker Hannifin. The company is headquartered at 41535 Schaden Road in Elyria, Ohio, and operates independently.
Zaytran produces grippers built with what it describes as third-generation Zaytran technology, using corrosion-resistant materials for use in clean rooms, grinder loading, automotive assembly, and die casting operations. Its retractable LSA locating pins are approved for use by Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler and carry a lifetime guarantee against wear, while its clamping pins are engineered to resist vibration-induced unclamping and are marketed with a high force-to-weight ratio. The company also builds welding locators for body-in-white assembly and large-capacity hydraulic valves built on standardized castings and CNC-machined bodies, a product line that traces back to the founders' earlier work at Manatrol.
Zaytran supplies its grippers, locating pins, and valves to automotive and industrial customers through authorized distributors such as Shaltz Automation.
