PNEUMATIC CYLINDER CHARACTERISTICS AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
In the field of pneumatics – deepen the topic on “Pneumatics and industrial automation: definition, applications, solutions“ -when mention is made of the ISO cylinders, we are talking about a very wide range of products, within which various types of pneumatic cylinders are included.
ISO standard cylinders, also called pneumatic actuators, are particularly used on machinery in industrial production departments, especially in the field ofindustrial automation.ISO cylinders possess some positive features and merits that are not negligible, for example, compared with the use of hydraulic cylinders .
Industrial automation: what is a pneumatic cylinder for?
Pneumatic cylinders essentially convert the potential energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. Inside the cylinder, two chambers are maintained at different air pressures; a piston attached to the partition wall, sometimes also called a rod, is set in motion in response to the pressure in the two chambers.
In most cases, therefore, the main action of a pneumatic cylinder is to immediately drive a piston: the pneumatic systems can push and pull, lift objects, open and close doors, hold, remove and go to position parts during production, going to perform a clamping action.
Types of movement of a pneumatic cylinder and applications
Essentially, there are two types of motions that an actuator or pneumatic cylinder can perform: rotary motion and linear motion: depending on the type of application for which it is to be used.
To every application the right cylinders: learn more in Emerson’s official AVENTICS brochure.
There are really so many other specific features to look into in order to figure out which type of pneumatic cylinder to choose. Everything, as you may have guessed, depends on the application. Emerson’s AVENTICS offers all the options you need for your specific needs in modern industrial applications: rodless cylinders, round cylinders, compact cylinders, mini-cylinders, short-stroke cylinders, standard pneumatic cylinders, rod cylinders, and other types.
A perfect cylinder must not only be well designed, easy to integrate, powerful, durable and reliable, but also robust, sensitive and capable of adapting to a wide variety of uses.
