In the past couple of centuries, the world has experienced numerous industrial revolutions, from Steam to smoke to computers. Industrial technologies are in a constant spur of Innovation and development. Pneumatic is one of those industrial technologies which has changed the world we live in today. Where else other industrial equipment’s like electro pneumatics and hydraulics also tend to be used in but pneumatics has the plus point of its safety as they use nothing besides compressed air means they won’t expose your crews to anything toxic. Some hydraulic fluids and certain types of lubricants are potentially dangerous, but pneumatic devices never require these compounds.
The source availability of pneumatics is a also a plus point because the Air is abundant and free, so you won’t have to pay to charge up your tank any more than what it costs you to run your compressor’s motor.The ease of cleaning in pneumatics promotes its usage as if you ever do find that a system gets blocked, then you’ll usually be able to clear it fairly easily because pneumatic technology tends to be quite simple from an engineering standpoint. It’s even easy to take apart a pneumatic circuit because they tend to feature a relatively small amount of tubing, especially compared to other more complex technologies
More likely than hydraulics and electronic systems at the time of replacement are expensive but pneumatics even the most durable stainless-steel parts don’t cost all that much compared to many other technologies. You can replace them with ease, provided you know the model number and size. If you have a reliable supplier and have ordered from them on a regular basis, they will provide the parts at reasonable prices and not bankrupt you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”729″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]Pneumatics also provide low maintenance within a longer period of time, besides lubricating a few moving parts and making sure that everything is nice and tight, you won’t have to do much in the way of maintenance as soon as you have all of your new pneumatic gear in place. Air circuits generally only lock up if they get moisture in them, so you probably won’t have to invest much time into troubleshooting either.
That’s why Pneumatics plays a very safe and very long-lasting part in machines. It also sets a wide range of products in its main components which vary upon the use of Machine. So much of today’s modern machinery utilizes some form of pneumatic component within its makeup and function.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”History of Pneumatics” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]Historically, the first use of a form of pneumatic technology dates back many thousands of years. In this instance, a Greek mathematician by the name of Hero of Alexandria wrote in the first century about how he used wind to generate power and transport objects, however it wasn’t until the 1600s that German physicist Otto von Guericke first invented a vacuum pump that utilized air pressure.
Towards the end of the 1960s, the first digitally controlled pneumatic components began to enter the market, once again revolutionizing the way in which this highly effective equipment played a part in our everyday lives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”731″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Pneumatic Elements & Components” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]The pneumatics industry continues to evolve today with the leading names continuing to produce components that offer that little bit more to improve efficiency, performance and functionality. Likely, Modern pneumatic cylinders offer fast, accurate power for low-pressure applications, giving a variety of industries, from packaging to amusement park rides and medical devices to which automation control, simple, safe and powerful controls. Rest of the components
It is clear that pneumatics has a rich history that dates back many years and at present seems to show no sign of slowing down with innovative pneumatic solutions being developed and released on a regular basis. With such an important role to play in of many different industries, pneumatics is sure to continue on through the ages for some time yet.The basic elements which a pneumatic system includes is the main, the compressor Which allows the compressed air to reach at the signaling element, and then the controlling element by which an actuator/cylinder in its various types performs the activity.
Pneumatic products are provided as per the demand of work and the machine its installing in, every pneumatic system requires the compressed air which has to be filtered, then regulated and lubricated in case of any present moisture in the air through the FRL (filter, regulator, lubricator). The input (air) is received in the signaling element (valve), which activates the controlling element (DCV- Directional control valve), in the last to perform the action, input and output of air in DCV controls the working element depending on the required functionality.
There are other secondary elements which help throughout the pneumatic systems like switches, flow control valve (speed controllers), pneumatic motors, actuators, fittings, check valves, couplers, Air tubes, sensors, vacuum’s etc. A vast variety of solenoid and pneumatic valves are functioned by valve actuators.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”732″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”slideInUp”][vc_custom_heading text=”Advantages” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]Overall, Pneumatic systems rely on a constant supply of compressed air, normally provided by an air compressor, to develop and control energy and are widely used across a broad range of industries to drive machinery. Pneumatic systems offer a number of advantages, which include:

Efficiency – The atmosphere contains an unlimited supply of air for the production of compressed air, which can be easily stored in large volumes. Not only can compressed air be easily transported through pipes but after it’s been used it can be released directly into the atmosphere without further processing.
Reliability – Pneumatic system components form Best Pneumatic Systems are extremely durable and reliable. Compared to electromotive components, pneumatic parts are proven to last longer and require less maintenance.
Simplicity – Pneumatic system components are relatively simple, which makes them suitable for less complicated automatic control systems. You can choose from a choice of movements, including linear or angular rotational movement, coupled with continuously variable operational speeds.
Safety – Pneumatic systems can work in inflammable environments excluding the risk of fire or explosion. Unlike of electromotive components, pneumatic system components do not overheat when overloaded and are therefore less of a fire hazard.
Economically – Pneumatic system components are relatively inexpensive, making the initial outlay for pneumatic systems very cost-effective. Furthermore, because pneumatic systems are so durable and reliable, maintenance costs are significantly lower than the other systems like the hydraulics and robotics.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Pneumatic Usage” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]Pneumatic systems are used in all types of assembly and fabrication applications. They can be installed to move items on assembly lines and in maintenance facilities to move items. Pneumatics can also be used with heavy machinery like drills, due to the repetitive action that pneumatics supply. Pneumatic systems are also capable of adaptive uses, such as pressing or tensioning, and each can include closed-loop control for extra precision.
Most of the Industries have pneumatic systems installed such as Agricultural machinery, Amusement machines, Automobile manufacturers, Excavators, Earth movers, Textile manufacturers, Pharmaceutical Industries, Concrete Pumping, Heavy printing systems, Paper Industries, Petrochemical Industries, Food processing Industries and many more.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Pneumatics Future” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]In today’s world, pneumatic systems are moving forward by getting linked with the expansion of smart sensing technology. The working of machines will be optimized operations in the near future.
When it is seen from a pneumatic market perspective, Statistics collected by the British Fluid Power Association show that sales of pneumatic equipment have actually increased to over £1.1 billion per annum over the past few years. Pneumatics manufacturers have played a considerable role in innovating and adapting systems to Industry 4.0, with industry leaders such as Festo and Camozzi introducing components to enhance the performance of their pneumatic actuators.
One of the key concepts driving the future of pneumatics is overall equipment effectiveness, which is improved with our enhanced understanding of machine systems and processes.
The future development in pneumatics is extended to smart pneumatics with includes the sensory information. Now the ones who stand responsible for designing and maintaining the pneumatic systems have found that throughout industrial environments, new sensing and data communications solutions are making pneumatics smarter and simpler to integrate into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
This sensory development of smart sensors and IO-Link (industrial communications networking standard (IEC 61131-9) used for connecting digital sensors and actuators) could also be invaluable for different purposes for example in predicting cylinder leakage or rod gland failure. With vibration sensors embedded at the right locations, and the tools to communicate that data back to a monitoring system, it would be simple to write a program to conduct and record a simple trend analysis to predict if a leak or gland failure was likely to occur.
In this case, Industrial development for pneumatics will make ease in optimized operations in machines and low labor activity.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Pakistan Industrialization and Pneumatics” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”blog-txt”]Industrial Automation in Pakistan’s textiles and industries have a great use of pneumatic systems.
