Air Rams: What is a Telescopic Cylinder?

telescopic cylinder

A telescopic cylinder is a specially designed hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder with an air rams pulley system that provides an exceptionally long output length from a very compact retracted length. The collapsed length of a telescopic cylinder can be 20 to 40% of the fully extended length, depending on the number of stages. Some…

Air Rams: What Makes Pneumatic Lockout Valves Important?

worker in protective gear checking air pressure

Many industries and facilities use compressed air to power production lines. However, improper management of compressed air utilities during maintenance or emergency situations will have serious consequences. To prevent accidents and personal injuries, there should be a proper installation and use of a simple device called a pneumatic lockout valve. These specialised air rams facilitate…

Air Rams: What is an Air Filter Regulator?

Compressed Air Filter Regulator Lubricator

Diaphragm pumps run on compressed air; but as the air exits the compressor going to the pump, the air is warm, dirty, and sometimes brings moisture. These can damage or shorten the lifespan of downstream equipment, such as valves. So, before this air can be used, it needs to be cleaned and controlled by air…

Flow Control Valve: Pneumatics and Robots

robotic arm in industrial setting

When people think of industrial robots, or any robot in general, they think that all moving parts use electrical motors and mechanical servos. But many robots today use air-powered systems, or pneumatics, to work. A compressor generates the compressed air, and the air moves to a reservoir that stores the air. A flow control valve…

Compressed Air Rams or Air Treatment Valves

sealed air tight bottles

Air treatment valves, sometimes called air rams, is usually a single, high-performance valve on main flow that handles regulation for relief functions. It is typically controlled by a high-precision pilot regulator with a controlled relief. This type of valve can also be used in a series with a manual on-off valve, with an electric valve,…

The Applications of the Pneumatic Valves Called Microvalves

water meter

Microvalves are small pneumatic valves that have particularly small components that are used in the field of microfluidics and fluidics to control fluids and gases. They are generally used for regulating or shutting off the flow fluids or gasses. For this to happen, a closure element like a disc, ball, or cone, is moved almost…

Diverter Valves Are Air Rams for Diverting Air

white pipe with valve

The best example of a diverter valve is the type of valve used for shower faucets and showerheads. It diverts the direction of the water. However, since the focus is on air rams, this type of diverter valve or diverter block shifts the direction of pressurised air. When you step on the gas in any…
