The bore size of a pneumatic cylinder directly determines air consumption – larger bores require exponentially more air volume per stroke, with a 2-inch bore consuming four times more air than a 1-inch bore of the same stroke length.
The key to selecting the right FRL unit lies in accurately calculating your system’s flow rate, pressure requirements, and environmental conditions – a process that requires systematic evaluation of six critical factors.
Your FRL unit serves as the guardian of your entire pneumatic system, controlling air quality, pressure stability, and component longevity – making it more critical than any individual actuator or valve.
ISO 8573-1 provides the definitive framework for specifying, measuring, and maintaining compressed air quality through nine distinct purity classes that directly correlate to your production requirements and equipment longevity.
Troubleshooting failing pneumatic solenoid valves involves systematic electrical testing, air flow verification, mechanical inspection, and performance analysis to identify root causes including coil failures, contamination buildup, mechanical wear, and electrical connection problems for efficient repair and prevention strategies.
