Explore the future of pneumatics. Our blog offers expert insights, technical guides, and industry trends to help you innovate and optimize your automation systems.
Selecting pneumatic components for Class 100 cleanrooms requires specialized low-outgassing materials, particle-free operation, proper sealing systems, and contamination-resistant designs that maintain ISO 14644-1 standards while delivering reliable automation performance in critical manufacturing environments.
Pneumatic systems typically offer superior cost-effectiveness, easier maintenance, and safer operation for most industrial applications, while hydraulic systems excel in high-force, precision-demanding tasks where power density is critical.
Pneumatic pressure boosters work by using a large-diameter piston driven by low-pressure air to compress air in a smaller chamber, multiplying the input pressure by ratios typically ranging from 2:1 to 25:1, delivering the high-pressure air needed for demanding industrial applications.
Pneumatic pressure boosters multiply existing air pressure up to 25:1 ratios, delivering high-force output from standard plant air while reducing equipment costs by 60% compared to hydraulic alternatives and eliminating the need for expensive high-pressure compressor installations.
Linear actuator duty cycle represents the percentage of time an actuator operates within a given period, typically expressed as a ratio of operating time to total cycle time, directly affecting heat generation, component wear, and overall service life.
