Pneumatic Cylinder
Pneumatic Hydraulic Cylinders
Pneumatic cylinders, also known as compressed air cylinders, are a type of actuator that use compressed air to create motion. These cylinders are affordable and perfect for a variety of uses, including in challenging environments. They are easy to install, and can achieve speeds ranging from 10mm/s to 3m/s. Their resilience and flexibility come from the compressibility of air, which enables them to resist external forces.
Advantages of pneumatic cylinders
- Cylinder speeds and forces can be infinitely switched between or regulated.
- The achievement of very high working speeds.
- Compressed air devices have the advantage of remaining undamaged in the event of overload leading to stoppage.
- Compressed air appliances are generally lighter and simpler in design compared to electrical appliances.
- Waste heat in pneumatic systems is centrally generated in the compressor, unlike in electrical systems where it occurs in decentralized electric drive units.
- There is no need for return lines in pneumatic systems as any exhaust air produced can be released directly into the environment.
