The characteristics of pneumatic components: components that do work through the pressure of gas or the force generated by expansion, that is, a machine that converts the energy of compressed air into kinetic energy.
Such as cylinders, steam engines, etc. It is a form of power transmission and an energy conversion device that uses gas pressure to transfer energy.
First, the advantages of pneumatic components:
The pneumatic device has a simple structure, light weight, simple installation and maintenance. The pressure level is low.
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 has low cost.
The adjustment of output force and working speed is very easy. The action speed of the cylinder is generally 50~500mm/s, which is faster than the action speed of hydraulic and electrical methods.
High reliability and long service life. The effective number of actions of electrical components is about one million times, while the life of general solenoid valves of SMC is more than 30 million times, and the life of small valves is more than 200 million times.
