In short, mechanical systems working with compressed air are called pneumatic systems. It is generally used to convert ambient air into mechanical motion. (Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are also used in addition to ambient air. Since pure oxygen is a flammable gas, it is not used in these systems.) Compressed air, which is obtained as a result of filling the inhaled air in the atmosphere to another place, has a propulsion power. Thanks to this power, mechanical mobility is achieved.

Where is the Pneumatic System Used?

Pneumatic systems are products that are continuously developed and aim to increase productivity continuously. For this reason, they are used extensively in almost every industry field. Robotic application and automation systems are one of the main sectors where pneumatic systems are used. In addition, these systems are used in almost every field such as cleaning or dyeing processes, filling - packaging machines, assembly lines, food industry, construction machinery, motor vehicles, textile industry. Its name is frequently mentioned in robotic applications, which are currently under development. This system is used for robots in human form to perform their movements.

What are the Advantages of Pneumatic System?

Pneumatic systems have many advantages over other systems. First of all, the air circulating as a gaseous substance in the pneumatic system minimizes the risks of ignition or explosion. The system is generally economical and its construction can be completed quite simply. Its assembly is completed easily and simply and can be disassembled and transported again depending on the situation. Another advantage is its longevity. When a very high pressure is not used, the elements in the connection section can be used for a long time. The system does not need a separate line for the return. Since air is used inside, the air can be mixed back into the atmosphere as a result of the process. Compared to other systems, it provides great savings and advantages in terms of working speed. The intensity of the power generated in the pneumatic system can be adjusted as desired. Since the substance circulating in the system is air, there is no need for fluid.

With the investment made for the pneumatic system, large amounts of energy can be stored. This stored energy can be used at any time. Again, in optional cases, the energy obtained can be transferred or transported to another region. Finally, pneumatic systems do not contain risks such as high pressure and electrical leakage.
