When is the Right Time to Use Pneumatic Control Systems?

In the most basic sense, pneumatic systems use compressed air to control and transmit energy. Pneumatic systems are small (train doors) and large (production lines & mechanical clamps). Although most people do not see pneumatic control systems daily, they benefit in some way, shape, or form from their safe and reliable performance. Compared to other similar means of controlling energy, such as electrical or gas, pneumatic control systems are widely seen as safer.

Besides being safe, are there any other advantages to utilizing pneumatic control systems?

Pneumatic control systems benefit from maintaining a simplistic design. As a result of their simplicity, they are frequently used in simple automatic control systems. As a result of ease of construction, they are often less expensive than other types of control systems.

Many companies are trying to do whatever they can to stay ahead of the curve and be green and environmentally friendly. Utilizing pneumatic control systems is a way to enhance a company’s pledge to take care of the earth. Because compressed air is the fuel, systems do not produce any pollutants. Amana control systems can safely be used in environments that require the highest cleanliness levels, like in the production line for computer chips and integrated circuits.

Although there are many positive aspects to using pneumatic controls and pneumatic valves, it is essential that you recognize that there are some limitations to the systems and tools. For instance, they have low loading and require processing before use.
