HuagongSpecialMachine, uses air to transfer things (Copyright Huagong) These machines are known as Pneumatic Cylinders. This makes them extremely important since they enable many other machines to do their work. Diversity of Pneumatic cylinders: Pneumatic cylinders are available in various types and each type has a specific job to do. Here are 5 different types of pneumatic cylinders and what they do specifically so you can become a little bit more familiar with them!
In a single-acting pneumatic cylinder, air drives a piston one way (the other direction is taken care of via a return spring). For a reference point, consider blowing up a balloon. When you release the air quickly, it will only exit in one direction. Find out how single-acting cylinder works! This kind of cylinder is very effective when you just want to move some object in just one direction. Say, for instance, a machine needs to push something out of the way, such as a door that opens up to allow something to go through. The single-acting cylinder shines at this task!
Well now about double acting Pneumatic cylinder Air is employed to shift the piston of these cylinders in both directions. It'd be similar to blowing up a balloon and then pressing down on it to release all the air. You can shove the piston one direction and then it can return as well. This one would be ideal for an application that you lift it from and then you lower it back down. Consider a machine that moves heavy boxes. Always consider the force needs when selecting a double-acting pneumatic cylinder. Huagong produces these cylinders in various sizes, and you will choose the best fit that suits your job!
Cylinders: Pneumatic series — Rodless What really sets a rodless cylinder apart from other types of pneumatic cylinders is the absence of a rod protruding from it. Instead of using the piston vertically up and down, it is linked to a carriage, and the carriage can slide back and forth along an horizontal rail. It is very useful when you want to transport an object a long distance but have limited space. As an example, consider a conveyor belt needing to transport items to the opposite side of the factory. To ensure that the belt moves smoothly, a rodless cylinder helps without taking up any space, or interfering with any other equipment.
Well, now, we better head on to rotary pneumatic cylinders. These cylinders employ compressed air to rotate a shaft, allowing them to spin things around. It is similar to blowing on a pin wheel to make is spin around. This kind of cylinder is very handy for applications in which you need to rotate something. For example, consider a machine that creates cookies, in which a rotary cylinder can rotate a wheel to press the dough into the desired shape. But beware: rotary cylinders do not develop as much strength as some cylinder types, which means they are not the best option for heavy lifting tasks.
Now we will discuss fully-compact pneumatic cylinders. Special for being the only type of cylinder smaller than the others. Consider the size of a compact cylinder: the era of blowing up a teacup balloon. Ideal for the task where work area is less. What is it — For example consider a space where you have a robot arm which needs to move into margins. Cylinder in a small size to help the arm moving easy without occupying too much space. Gradient cylinder Huagong have a few similar kind compact cylinder of removable or boxy. The one that meets your requirements as per!
