An air cylinder, also known as a pneumatic cylinder, is a mechanical device that uses compressed air to produce linear motion and force. They are commonly used in industrial automation, machinery, and various applications requiring controlled movement and actuation. Here’s a detailed description of air cylinders:
Components:
- Cylinder Body:
- The main body houses the internal components and contains the compressed air.
- Piston:
- A cylindrical component inside the cylinder body that moves back and forth. It is directly connected to the piston rod.
- Piston Rod:
- Extends out of the cylinder and transfers the motion and force generated by the piston.
- End Caps:
- Seal the cylinder body on both ends and provide mounting points. One end cap usually has ports for air intake and exhaust.
- Seals:
- Ensure that the compressed air does not leak from the cylinder, maintaining efficiency and performance.
