What Environmental Factors Affect the Choice Between Cylinders and Actuators?
Pneumatic cylinders operate reliably from -40°F to +200°F (-40°C to +93°C) with appropriate materials and seals, while electric actuators typically function within -10°F to +140°F (-23°C to +60°C) ranges, making pneumatic systems superior for extreme temperature applications in foundries, cold storage, and outdoor installations.
