Application of Pneumatic System

Application of Pneumatics Systems


Pneumatics can be defined as a branch of fluid power in which gas is used as a fluid. It is derived
from Greek word Pneuma, which means air, wind or breath. In this article, we'll discuss the
application of Pneumatics systems.

Pneumatic systems use air as the gas medium because air is very abundant and can be readily
exhausted into the atmosphere after completing its assigned task.

In addition, the pneumatic system is less expensive to build and operate. In the pneumatic system
simply the air is used to transmit energy. The air has greater supply everywhere. When air is
compressed it can be used to perform work.

Pneumatic and hydraulic systems have been used for many years within industrial processes and
as such has acquired an established place in the modern industry.

Pneumatics is the most widely applied fluid power technology. In the pneumatic system compressed
air acts as both a working and control medium.

The use of pneumatic or compressed air has many advantages of transmitting energy and control
functions in the system.

Examples of Compressed Air


 It is fast for example short cycle times can be achieved. In automated assembly applications
at the same time, it is overloaded safely. If the machine jams pneumatic motors or circuit
components will not burn out.
 Another advantage is that compressed air is clean, this is very important in the textile and
food industries where clean conditions are necessary.
 Our primary importance pneumatics is also safe because compressed air does not burn or
explode under a wide range of operating temperatures, in addition, the exhaust air can be
discharged directly into the atmosphere.
 Pneumatic systems are heavily utilized in cleanroom applications for the same reasons of
cleanliness low combustion and fast operating speeds.
 Compressed air can also be stored and ready to be used when required.

 Another advantage is that compressed air does not break down when exposed to high
temperatures thereby allowing for safe consistent operation under a wide range of
temperatures.
 And finally, the individual pneumatic components are inexpensive when compared to other
forms of energy transmission and control.
 Pneumatic control and actuation is ideal energy for automation of industrial processes.
