How the cylinder works

Pneumatic actuators that convert the pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy in pneumatic transmission. There are two types of cylinders: reciprocating linear motion and reciprocating swing. Pneumatic Cylinders for reciprocating linear motion can be divided into four types: single-acting, double-acting, diaphragm and impact pneumatic cylinders. ①Single-acting Pneumatic cylinder: Only one end has a china Chrome Piston Rods. The air is supplied from one side of the piston to gather energy to generate air pressure. The air pressure pushes the piston to generate thrust, and it returns by spring or its own weight.

②Double-acting pneumatic cylinder: Air is supplied alternately from both sides of the piston. Or output force in two directions.

③ Diaphragm air cylinder: replace the piston with a diaphragm, output force in only one direction, and return with a spring. Its sealing performance is good, but the stroke is short.

④ Impact air cylinder(made by pneumatic cylinder tube): This is a new type of component. It converts the pressure energy of the compressed gas into the kinetic energy of the piston’s high-speed (10-20 m/s) movement, so as to perform work. The impact cylinder adds a middle cover with nozzles and drain ports. The middle cover and the piston divide the cylinder into three chambers: an air storage chamber, a head chamber and a tail chamber. It is widely used in various operations such as blanking, punching, crushing and forming. The cylinder that swings back and forth is called a swing cylinder. The inner cavity is divided into two by vanes, and the two cavities are alternately supplied with air. The output shaft makes a swing motion, and the swing angle is less than 280°. In addition, there are rotary cylinders, gas-liquid damping pneumatic cylinders (China Aluminum Cylinder Tube, and stepping air cylinders.
