Pneumatic cylinders, also known as air cylinders, are mechanical devices that use compressed air to produce linear motion. They are widely used in industrial automation, machinery, robotics, and other systems requiring reliable and efficient actuation.
Pneumatic cylinders operate by introducing compressed air into a chamber, which pushes a piston in a linear direction. When air pressure is applied to one side of the piston, it extends or retracts, depending on the cylinder type. The movement generated is used to perform tasks such as lifting, pushing, clamping, or moving objects.
Single-Acting Cylinders (SAC)
Air pressure moves the piston in one direction.
A spring returns it to its original position.
Double-Acting Cylinders (DAC)
Air pressure is applied alternately to both sides of the piston.
Enables controlled movement in both directions.
Rodless Cylinders
The piston moves inside the barrel without an external rod.
Ideal for space-saving applications.
Telescopic Cylinders
Composed of nested sleeves for extended stroke.
Used in applications requiring long extension in compact spaces.
Manufacturing Lines: Automates repetitive tasks like pressing, stamping, and lifting.
Packaging Machines: Used for pushing, sorting, or sealing items.
Automotive Systems: Powers robotic arms and material handling.
Construction Equipment: Helps operate lifts and hoists.
