Pneumatic Cylinders

A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that transfers the energy contained in compressed air into a reciprocating linear motion. A piston in a double-acting cylinder is moved in and out by compressed air, whereas a piston in a single-acting cylinder is moved in and out by compressed air and a return spring. They have a variety of attachments, such as sensors for detecting the position of the piston and various mounting accessories for mounting the cylinder or adding components to the end of the piston. Pneumatic cylinders are used in a variety of sectors that require linear motion since they are simple to use and cost-effective. They are also known as air cylinders.
