Pneumatic Equipment: Basic Information and Applications Pneumatic systems are essential components of modern industrial automation, using compressed air to provide mechanical motion and control. Their simple and reliable structures make them widely applicable in various sectors. This article provides a detailed overview of the basic components, working principles, and applications of pneumatic equipment. 1. Pneumatic Cylinders Pneumatic cylinders are devices that convert the energy of compressed air into linear or rotary mechanical motion. They are widely used as actuators in various applications. Main Types: Linear Pneumatic Cylinders: These cylinders use air pressure to move a piston back and forth. Subtypes include: Single-Acting Cylinders: Air pressure drives motion in one direction, while a spring returns the piston. Double-Acting Cylinders: Air pressure controls both forward and backward movements, offering greater power and precision. Rotary Pneumatic Actuators: Used in ...
