PNEUMATIC CYLINDER

Pneumatic cylinders are mechanical devices that produce force by using energy from pressurized air. These devices consist of a piston, piston rod, and cylinder. The working fluid in pneumatic cylinders is compressed air. Hence, pneumatic cylinders are desirable for environments requiring a high level of cleanliness, as the fluid will not contaminate the surroundings in case of leakage. Pneumatic cylinders operate quietly and do not require large storage tanks for the working fluid. Pneumatic cylinders are used in the automation of machines and industrial processes. The force and motion produced by pneumatic cylinders can be used in mechanisms such as clamping, ejecting, blocking, and lifting. In factories, they are used in repetitive pick-up and placement of objects into a machine or equipment.
