Broadly speaking, pneumatic tools are tools that use compressed air to drive a pneumatic motor to output kinetic energy for work. Based on their basic working method, they can be divided into:
Rotary type (eccentric movable vane type).
Reciprocating type (volume piston type). Generally, pneumatic tools mainly consist of a power output section, a work mode conversion section, an air intake and exhaust system, an operation start and stop control section, and a tool housing. Of course, the operation of pneumatic tools also requires an energy supply section, an air filtration and pressure regulation section, and tool accessories.
1. Air is readily available and operates at low pressure; used air can be discharged locally without the need for recycling pipelines.
2. Air has low viscosity and low flow resistance loss, facilitating centralized air supply and long-distance transportation.
3. Pneumatic actuators operate at high speeds.
4. Pneumatic systems are highly adaptable to the environment, operating reliably in a wide temperature range, humid, and dusty environments. Minor leaks will not pollute the environment; there is no risk of fire or explosion, ensuring safe use.
5. Simple structure, easy maintenance, and low cost.
6. Long lifespan of pneumatic components.
7. Pneumatic components have lower output than hydraulic systems, faster movement, and stronger adaptability. They can operate in harsh environments such as flammable, explosive, dusty, humid, and impact-prone conditions without polluting the environment. They have a long service life, simple construction, easy maintenance, and low cost.
