Introduction to air cylinder

Pneumatic actuators are the most critical mechanical output components in a pneumatic system. They convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy to drive external loads, producing linear or rotary motion to perform actions such as pushing, pulling, clamping, lifting, and rotating.

Two operating modes of pneumatic air cylinder

Linear pneumatic air actuators

Linear motion actuators are available in two types: single-acting and double-acting. A single-acting actuator is driven by compressed air in one direction and returns by a spring, while a double-acting actuator is driven by compressed air alternately in both directions, making it widely used in industrial automation.

Rotary pneumatic air actuators

Rotary actuators can achieve fixed-angle rotary motion and are commonly used in applications such as fixture rotation, sorting robotic arms, and valve drives.

Main Functions of Pneumatic Actuators

◆ Converts pneumatic energy into mechanical energy

◆ Executes system control signals to achieve output motion

◆ Drives various mechanical mechanisms to achieve automated operations
