Pneumatic cylinders, also commonly referred to as air cylinders, are essential linear actuators used in industrial automation systems. By converting compressed air into controlled linear motion, pneumatic cylinders deliver reliable force, fast response, and long service life for a wide range of manufacturing and processing applications.
As a professional pneumatic components manufacturer, CHDAC supplies high-quality pneumatic cylinders designed to meet international standards and demanding industrial environments. Our air cylinders are widely used in automation equipment, assembly lines, packaging machinery, and material handling systems worldwide.
A pneumatic cylinder operates by applying compressed air to a piston inside a sealed cylinder tube. The air pressure drives the piston forward or backward, creating linear motion that can push, pull, lift, or position loads.
Basic working process:
According to Wikipedia, pneumatic actuation is favored for its clean operation, safety, and ease of maintenance compared with hydraulic systems.
CHDAC offers a complete range of pneumatic cylinders to suit different application needs:
✅ Advantages: Air-saving
⚠️ Disadvantages: Short stroke, limited thrust
Pneumatic cylinders are used across multiple industries due to their versatility and cost efficiency:
According to ABB and Schneider Electric, pneumatic cylinders remain a preferred solution for applications requiring high-speed motion, repeatability, and durability.
When selecting pneumatic cylinders, the following parameters are critical:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Bore Diameter | Determines output force |
| Stroke Length | Travel distance |
| Operating Pressure | Typically 0.1–1.0 MPa |
| Mounting Type | Foot, flange, clevis, trunnion |
| Cushioning | Air cushioning for smooth motion |
| Temperature Range | Depends on seal material |
Force Calculation Reference:
Force = Air Pressure × Effective Piston Area
This principle is widely referenced in pneumatic engineering standards and IEEE technical documentation.
