Characteristics
– Operates using compressed air to control the movement of mechanical components
– Commonly used in automation systems and machinery
– Can be used for both linear and rotary motion
– Typically features quick response times and high reliability
– Often includes components such as actuators, valves, and fittings
Examples
– Pneumatic cylinders: Used to convert compressed air into linear motion for tasks like pushing, pulling, or lifting
– Pneumatic actuators: Devices that use compressed air to produce rotational motion, often found in valves and dampers
– Pneumatic tools: Tools powered by compressed air, such as nail guns, impact wrenches, and spray guns
