The pneumatic cylinders exploit the energy of the compressed air to obtain a linear movement of an object or part of the machine. With a pressure not exceeding 10 bar, the cylinders can offer different push forces, by selecting the bore more indicated to the need, in fact, the thrust surface deriving from interior bore of the cylinder determines the force transmitted to the rod and thus to the part to be handled. For the construction of the pneumatic cylinders, the most used material is aluminum, but it is
The pneumatic cylinders have many fields of application, the most common are: industry packaging machinery, woodworking machines, machine tools, bottling machines, machines for glass processing, machines for processing marble, assembly lines of cars, railway industry, the building industry, food industry, the petrochemical industry. The compressed air energy is simple, economical and environmentally friendly and therefore perfect to meet the various application requirements.
They can be of two types: cylinders ISO standard or not standard. The ISO cylinders comply with international standard ISO 6432, ISO 15552, ISO 21287, while the cylinders are not complying to any norm may have shapes and dimensions free and not bound by dimensional rules. The family of pneumatic cylinders not complying must meet the specific application needs, then each of them will present advantages but also disadvantages compared to others. It is essential that the cylinder is properly evaluated for its
