Linear Actuators are electromechanical or mechanical devices that produce straight-line motion. This motion is used for many tasks, from aircraft-control actuating to precision-assembly positioning. Although ordinary hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders are linear actuators, for the most part, they are simply called “cylinders.” This article will focus on electromechanical forms that produce either direct linear motion …
Pneumatic actuators use air power to produce rotary and linear motion. In the broadest sense, an air cylinder is a pneumatic actuator. For the purpose of this article, pneumatic actuators that are intended to produce rotary motion for operating valves, for automating manufacturing, for clamping work, etc. are the primary focus. Their use in linear …
Pneumatic valves have come a long way since the development of the compressor more than a century ago and it can be a real challenge to ensure you’re taking full advantage of the latest development for your organization. The valves on today’s market are smaller, faster and more advanced than their predecessors and offer many …

In pneumatic systems the removal of power is typically associated with a break or significant drop in the pressure of the air supply. Typically this can be caused by either the failure of a compressed air pump or other equipment, or by a major breach or leakage in the supply line. Where the need for …
Working pressure of the hose.Each manufacturer of pneumatic tubes in their catalogs provides a very important parameters for our selection – it is the value of pressure with which the tube can work. Described as “working pressure” tells us about the values of pressure that a pipe can withstand for a long time. The operating …

The principle of rodless cylinder The working principle of the rodless cylinder is the same as that of the ordinary cylinder, except that the external connection and sealing form are different. High requirements for environmental cleanliness. There is a piston in the rodless cylinder, but without a piston rod, the piston is installed in the …

Pneumatic components are components that do work through the force of gas pressure or expansion, that is, components that convert the elastic energy of compressed air into kinetic energy. Such as cylinders, pneumatic motors, steam engines, etc. Pneumatic components are a form of power transmission and also an energy conversion device, which uses gas pressure …

There are many different types of solenoids, though the problems that typically occur with these components can be grouped into a few basic categories. Common solenoid problems include plungers that are stuck either in or out, attached valves that are frozen in place, bad internal coil windings, and excessive noise during operation. Some of these …
A 12-volt solenoid is an electromagnetic actuation device designed to work with a 12-volt direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) power supply. Similar in all respects to the rest of the solenoid family of actuators, the 12-volt solenoid consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a hollow, insulated core and a ferrous metal …
