What are the advantages of pneumatic actuators in the field of industrial automation
Pneumatic actuators are generally used in conjunction with valves. Due to their characteristics and advantages, pneumatic actuators occupy a very important position in the field of industrial automation. Below, pneumatic actuator manufacturers will introduce the methods from which it embodies its advantages in the field of automation.
Compared with air cylinders, pneumatic actuators can work reliably under harsh conditions, and are simple to operate, and can basically be maintenance-free. Cylinders are good at making reciprocating linear motions, especially for linear handling of workpieces in industrial automation. The throttle valve installed on both sides of the cylinder can realize simple and stable control speed, which has become the biggest advantage of cylinder drive. Therefore, for users who do not have multi-point positioning requirements, most of them will consider the use of air cylinders from the point of view of convenience.
At present, the application of pneumatic actuators in the industrial field is mainly used for high-precision and multi-positioning. Its advantage is that the response time is fast, and the speed, position and torque are accurately controlled through the feedback system. But when the linear motion needs to be completed, it needs to be driven by gears and other mechanical devices, and there are higher requirements for the working environment and the professional knowledge of operation and maintenance personnel.
