Nowadays, pneumatic cylinder parts are used in many applications and industries, which also bring a lot of convenience for various applications. Then what are the benefits to use pneumatic gripper cylinder in application? In this article, we will share with you some relative knowledge. First of all, let us get to know the advantages of using pneumatic cylinder tools.
Advantages of using pneumatic cylinder tools
1. The air is easy to obtain, and the working pressure is low, the used air can be discharged on the spot, and it does not need to recycle the pipe.
2. The air viscosity is small, and the flow resistance loss is small as well. So it is convenient for centralized air supply and long-distance transportation.
3. The pneumatic cylinder actuator movement speed is high.
4. The pneumatic cylinder system has strong adaptability to the environment, which can work reliably in a wide temperature range, and humid and dusty environment. Even if there is a little leakage, it will not pollute the environment, and there is no fire and explosion hazard. So, it can be used safely.
5. It has the features of simple structure, convenient maintenance and low cost.
6. The pneumatic cylinder components have long service life.
7. The execution output of small pneumatic cylinder components is smaller than hydraulic pressure, and it has faster movement, strong adaptability, and can work in harsh, explosive, heavy, humid, and impact environments, without polluting the environment. The key is that it has long working life, and simple structure. So, it is easy to maintain and pneumatic cylinder price is low.
The advantages of pneumatic-mechanical grippers
1. It has relatively low cost.
2. It has the characteristic of fast acting.
3. The gripper has large grip force range, and can be used for different industries and various applications.
4. In order to meet specific requirements of various applications, it can implement custom fingers for different applications.
Of course, there are some limitations for pneumatic grippers. For example, the variability of parts size or shape to be picked is limited. The force and position control capabilities are also limited. And it only can supply, prep, and control air with external valve. But the pneumatic gripper is an ideal choice and solution for a product line with the same picking feature, since it can pick various parts and it has lower cost. And it can be used together with other simple tool changers or quick change finger options, even though its stroke length is limited.
The composition of pneumatic gripper series
1. Air compressor is air pressure generating device.
2. Pneumatic cylinder actuator.
3. Pneumatic control components are used to control the pressure, flow and flow mode of the working medium to enable the actuator to complete the required motion law, such as pressure, flow and direction control valves and various logic components etc.
4. The sensor element and the conversion element detect the controlled parameter and turn it into a gas pressure signal.
5. Pneumatic cylinder accessories include air source purification, component lubrication, component connection, noise reduction and other components etc.
