Understanding Pneumatic Actuation Principles
Pneumatic actuation principles are fundamental to various industrial applications, relying on compressed air to produce motion. This technology uses the properties of air under pressure to create linear or rotary motion through actuators, which can be either cylinders or motors. At the core of pneumatic systems is the concept of converting potential energy in compressed air into kinetic energy, allowing for precise control and movement. Compressed air is stored in a tank and delivered to the actuator, where it enters…
