Pneumatic
Pneumatic "Pneumatic" is derived from the Greek word "pneumatikos", meaning "caused by wind". Pneumatics The Greek inventor first used compressed air power nearly 2,000 years ago.
We need energy transfer to complete production processes. This transfer and transfer of energy in different industries is done in different ways. Energy transfer can take the form of pressurized fluids, electrical and mechanical forces. Pneumatic method is considered as one of the methods of energy transfer.
Why use pneumatics?
The pneumatic system has many advantages. This is why many people prefer to use wind systems for industries. Wind systems are very simple to operate and operate. This allows them to be used in a variety of environments. The simplicity of the tools in the industry will increase the speed and better efficiency of the equipment. In fact, inexperienced people can also set up pneumatic systems.
Some of the benefits of using compressed air include:
Compressed air devices can be very small, light, fast and powerful.
Air is light and free compared to hydraulic fluid.
You can easily store compressed air.
Pneumatic devices are safe even if the air hose or their individual parts are punctured.
Pneumatic systems are very clean compared to hydraulic systems.
How do pneumatic systems work?
Consider an empty container such as container A. Although it may seem empty, it is actually full of air molecules. Air molecules are invisible, but they still have weight and mass and exert pressure. The pressure of part A corresponds to the air pressure of the room in which it is located.
After the container (container B) is sealed, the trapped molecules are compressed when pressed because the molecules are able to be compressed due to the large space between the molecules. This stored force is transmitted through the molecules to the walls of the chamber, and this same force causes a piston to move out.
The amount of pressure of air molecules depends on the number of molecules and the amount of collision that occurs between the molecules and the inner surface of the container. When air molecules are compressed, they have energy and potential. If the pressure is removed from the piston (Figure c), the air expands sufficiently to equalize the air pressure behind and behind the piston.
