Like hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders use the stored potential energy of a fluid, in this case compressed air, and convert it into kinetic energy as the air expands in an attempt to reach atmospheric pressure. This air expansion forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops to the object to be moved.Engineers prefer to use pneumatics sometime because they are quieter, cleaner, and do not require large amounts of space for fluid storage. Because the operating fluid is a gas, leakage from a pneumatic cylinder will not drip out and contaminate the surroundings, making pneumatics more desirable where cleanliness is a requirement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-161ddac jedv-enabled--yes elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-download-button\" data-id=\"161ddac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jet-download-button.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-jet-download-button jet-elements\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pneumatic cylinders are mechanical devices which use the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion.
