Most of today’s modern machinery utilises some form of pneumatics within its function, be it valves or air rams. However, many people, even engineers, know very little about the history of valves or how the science of pneumatics evolved into its essential elements today. Here’s a short history and evolution of valves, air rams, and…

Pneumatic cylinders function as mechanical devices to compress air in a wide range of velocities. These devices also operate in the same way as hydraulic cylinders do. Each device has a piston which is designed to move in a specific direction. Depending on the industry, air rams are used whether for lowering, lifting, pulling, pushing,…

Air cylinders, sometimes called air rams, are offered in various types, sizes, and shapes. There is also a plethora of standard options available. Air rams are selected by their ability to do work, and proper air cylinder selection is of great importance to any industry. It starts with the right design to meet the application’s…

Most industrial applications require linear motion during working operations. One of the most common but cost-effective methods to accomplish this is with a pneumatic actuator or commonly referred to as an air cylinder or sometimes an air ram. Air cylinders or air rams are devices that translate the source of static power into useful output…

Any instruments or tools that create and make use of compressed air are called pneumatic devices. Such devices include atomisers, blast cleaners, forging presses, pavement breakers and riveters. The power of compressed air is found to be economical, flexible, and safe. Air devices don’t create spark hazards in explosive atmospheres, given that they can be…
