Advantages of pneumatic components

Dec 25, 2019

1. The pneumatic device has the advantages of simple structure, light weight and simple installation and maintenance. The medium is air, which is not easy to burn compared with hydraulic medium, so it is safe to use.

2. The working medium is inexhaustible air, and the air itself does not cost money. The exhaust gas treatment is simple, does not pollute the environment, and the cost is low.

3. It is very easy to adjust the output force and working speed. The operation speed of the cylinder is generally less than 1m / s, which is faster than that of the hydraulic and electrical modes.

4. High reliability and long service life. The effective action times of electrical components are about one million times, while the service life of general solenoid valve is more than 30 million times, and that of some good quality valves is more than 200 million times.

5. By using the compressibility of air, energy can be stored and centralized air supply can be realized. It can release energy in a short time to obtain high-speed response in intermittent motion. Buffering is possible. It has strong adaptability to impact load and overload. Under certain conditions, the pneumatic device has self holding capacity.

6. Full pneumatic control has the ability of fire prevention, explosion-proof and moisture-proof. Compared with the hydraulic mode, the pneumatic mode can be used in high temperature occasions.

7. Compressed air can be supplied in a centralized way and transported in a long distance.
