• Right-sizing pneumatic motion systems
  the manufacturer's catalog friction is 13 psi. This is the minimum pressure needed to overcome internal friction and move the piston. Based on experience, make an initial guess that 0.25-in.-ID flexible tubing adequately supplies air to the cylinder. Valve exhaust port: To size the valve, first...
• Study of Cylinder-Wall Micro-Structure (.pdf)
  An extensive study using a Scanning Electron Microscope to examine and compare the results of cylinder honing using rigid hones versus the Flex-Hone(R) Tool. The booklet examines what the honed cylinder wall surface should and should not look like. Three different studies are presented USA, UK...
• Pneumatic clamps save set-up time and operator wear
  for clamp opening, the other for clamp closing) are required for typical systems. For many applications, flexible tubing and push-in fittings are all the attachment hardware required. Many clamps use tie-rod mounted cylinders and steel piping. Computer-controlled systems can employ a clamp cylinder...
• Pharmaceutical Glass Manufacturer Blends 120 Batches/Day of Abrasive Ingredients
  the discharge chute on the right. In the left foreground is a dust collector, and behind it, to the right, is a discharge port for purged material. A view of the mixer discharge gate. A pneumatic cylinder forces the stopper-like gate inward, into the mixer, allowing the batch of mixed material to discharge...
• Improving pneumatics bottom line
  pneumatic systems is to calculate cylinder flow. Armed with this information, designers can correctly size tubing, fittings, valves, and FRLs. Judicious use of pressure regulators can reduce operating costs, for example, by lowering return air pressure when actuators are loaded in only one direction...
• Better than metal
  Composites give off-highway OEMs another option for pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic parts. PolyLube fiber series bushings feature a more open liner architecture enabling the wear surface to accommodate contaminates and debris. PolySlide linerless-cylinder tubing features a patented compression...
• Sizing Pneumatics for Performance and Efficiency
  of the cylinder and valve port fittings restrict airflow. • Flow characteristics through air lines depend on tubing materials and construction. • Air lines add volume that must be charged and discharged every cycle. • Fittings that are not straight increase pressure losses and delays. • Flow controls...
• Composite cylinders get user friendly
  thermally stable. Linerless composite cylinders are suited for a range of applications, such as pneumatic-valve actuators, hydraulic actuators for aircraft, dump mechanisms for railroad cars, waste-water treatment flow controls, and replacement for aluminum cylinder tubing.

• Making pneumatics an energy miser
  compressed air and taking advantage of designs that minimize energy consumption. Let's start with the basics. The pneumatic energy used to perform a task is a function of the pressure and volume. In typical pneumatic systems, volume equals cylinder volume plus the volume of the pipe between the valve...
• Pulling Money Out of Thin Air
  industrial plants after electricity, gas, and water. A study by the U.S. Dept. of Energy found air compression accounted for approximately 8.6% of overall industrial energy consumption. Generating compressed air for a pneumatic system requires a huge amount of energy, but many companies do not consider...
