The Values of Pneumatic Components in a Pneumatic Control System

Each part of a pneumatic control system plays an integral role in maintaining safe and optimal performance. Within a typical system, motions or forces rotate, pull, drive, and regulate the system. These devices utilize a variety of components that effects different parts of the system, including control and movement. The most used components include:​

Air Compressors: these are considered exhausting mechanisms. This type of pneumatic equipment sucks in air from outside the system. It harnesses air for you to use in your process.

Pneumatic Cylinders: these are considered mechanical devices, and they are only used in systems that produce force via compressed air. Compressed air always enters the tube at one end once the pneumatic cylinder is actuated. The main job of the cylinder is to cause the piston to move.

Pneumatic Fittings: without fittings, it would not be easy to control your process. The devices are designed to connect valves while simultaneously providing leak-free pneumatic movement.

Pneumatic Tubing: hosing and tubing are used to bring pressurized air to actuators, tools, and valves.

Pneumatic Valves: controlled airflow is necessary for the safe and efficient functioning of your system, and that could not be possible without pneumatic valves.

Pneumatic Controls

Most pneumatic control components have a standard design, which means that standard cylinders and other components are used. Operating these machines is simple because of the easy on-off controls. These components are also durable and reliable. It is difficult to damage parts, which means they typically have a long-life span.
