Ever notice how machines they can move and work all by them self without ever being touched. It’s really fascinating! This incredible ability is thanks to a confidential technology known as pneumatic cylinders. These amazing gadgets employ air to generate power and motion that aids devices in their working operations. Pneumatic cylinders can be used in a wide application, such as robots, factories and so on.
There are many types of pneumatic cylinders, one case where a dual rod type can be sued is in the design called as Dual Rod Pneumatic Cylinder. This kind has two rods that shift in opposite directions, which then allows the machine to remain centered and safe. Literally, two hands working together to be able to grab something tightly! Here, we will take a closer look at the advantages of using dual rod pneumatic cylinders and guidance on how to select one that suits your requirements.
However, how do double rod pneumatic cylinders work is the following thing you need to understand. They act much the same way double acting rod cylinders do, but with they have two rods where regular single rod cylinders only have one. The air pressure is sent into one end of the cylinder and the other lets up this pressure to rush out in open space. This pressure difference causes the piston (the rod to which is mechanically attached)to move hence everything functions smoothly.
A wide range of functions can also be performed by dual rod pneumatic cylinders like pushing and pulling, stopping and holding or positioning and aligning various components within a machine. Major areas where these cylinders are used include material handling, product assembly and testing, packaging of goods as well as welding. They are used in many different industries, from automotive to aerospace and medical or pharmaceutical sectors where safety, accuracy, reliability count.
With that being said, dual rod pneumatic cylinders are simply a god-send for automation as they have so many benefits over other types of actuation methods. Type faster and more accurately, for example: Hydraulic cylinders use fluid to cause movement which can be affected by heat or viscosity. As this suggested, dual rod pneumatic cylinders are also quieter and cleaner than electric motors that can be somewhat noisy as well produce dust when in operation.
The weight of the load that you wish to move, along with how much range is needed helped in determining correctly sized jacks and proper stroke length. Depending on what the cylinder will be doing, and how much air pressure you have is going to affect force/speed of that cylinder. For instance, if you have to lift a heavyweight object, then you will need larger force-rated cylinder and may also want it to move slowly as mentioned above in order not just for the system work properly but efficiently too while handling load safely.
The mounting can be by tie rod, flange, clevis and foot styles as well pivot brackets. It is important to choose the mounting style that best suits your machine design and ease of installation, maintenance etc. Other than that, the environment in which you will use your components might also determine the material used on it (example: stainless steel/aluminum/brass depends upon factor like corrosion resistance).
