Frequently asked questions:

What is a pneumatic system?
A pneumatic system is a collection of interconnected components using compressed air. The compressed air or pressurised gas is usually filtered and dried to protect the cylinders, actuators, tools and bladders performing the work. Pneumatics systems are reliable and provide a long service life with little maintenance needed.
What are the main components of a pneumatic system?
Pneumatic systems consist of air compressors, electric motors with motor control centres, pressure switches, check valves, storage tanks and pressure gauges. They also include automatic drains, air dryers, filters, air lubricators, pipelines and valves. All of these components work together to produce compressed air, store it, control it and distribute it.
What are the similarities between hydraulic and pneumatic systems
Pneumatics and hydraulics both provide fluid power through the use of pressurised substances, with pneumatics using air or gases and hydraulics using liquids such as oil or water. When selecting between the two systems, factors such as cost-effectiveness, resource availability, and space requirements must be considered.
What are 5 examples of pneumatic systems?
Examples of pneumatic systems include air brakes on heavy machinery, pneumatic tools such as impact wrenches and rivet guns, automated production lines that use pneumatic cylinders and actuators for tasks like clamping and positioning, pneumatic conveying systems for transporting bulk materials like powders and pellets, and packaging systems that use compressed air to power equipment for sealing, labelling, and sorting products.
