About this catalogue
What is inside
This catalogue lists 13 cold gas systems products offered by 11 manufacturers across 10 countries. Of those, 3 carry a manufacturer datasheet and 1 publish a price; the rest are quoted on request — normal in this market, where configuration drives cost.
Entries are grouped alphabetically by manufacturer. Every product links back to its page on newspacemarket.com, where you will find the full specification, the datasheet and a quote form that reaches the manufacturer directly.
Compiled 5 September 2026 from the live catalogue. Specifications are as published by the manufacturers; we normalise units but do not re-measure. Where a figure looked implausible it was left out rather than guessed.
