Air Rams: The Air Needlegun Scaler
The air needle-gun, needle scaler, or needlegun scaler is an air tool that uses air rams to remove old paint, mill scale, and rust from metal and concrete surfaces. Needlegun scalers are primarily used in metalwork applications such as shipboard repairs and preservation, automotive repair, and construction repair. Physical features A needlegun scaler has a…
Read MorePowered by Air Rams, the Power Tool called Pneumatic Screwdriver
If you’re not familiar with power tools, aside from air-powered drills and impact wrenches, there is a power tool called a pneumatic screwdriver powered by compressed air using air rams. Pneumatic screwdrivers are more commonly used in factory assembly lines. It allows a worker to work on multiple screws in a single product without generating…
Read MoreDental Air Rams or Compressors for Pneumatic Dental Units
A dental air compressor is a specially designed compressor used for pneumatic dental units in dental or medical practice. All of a dentist’s essential tools used in dental practice are powered by these dental air rams. To prevent patients from getting harmful contaminants, air compressors are strictly regulated and are all oil-free, using exclusively compressed…
Read MoreActuators, Air Rams, and Valves Market Trends in 2020-2021
Industrial valves and actuators are manufactured to handle high-pressure fluids or gas and to regulate electrical flowing currents. They are made to last through years of use in harsh environments. Most utilities and industries have a high requirement for heavy-duty, industrial-strength valves such as ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, pressure valves, gate valves, diaphragm…
Read MoreCompressed Air Rams or Air Treatment Valves
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,…
Read MoreDiverter Valves Are Air Rams for Diverting Air
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…
Read MoreAir Rams: Single Acting vs Double Acting Pneumatic or Hydraulic Cylinders
If you need power from compressed air pressure to be used for industrial machinery, pneumatic cylinders or air rams can deliver the big punch. On the other hand, if you need power for heavy machinery such as heavy lifters, movers, bulldozers, dump trucks, and the like, hydraulic cylinders are the standard mobile applications. Both pneumatic…
Read MoreAir Rams: How a Motorcycle Lift Works
Getting down on your knees to repair or maintain your motorcycle can take its toll on your energy levels. Instead, you can use a motorcycle lift to “lift” your motorbike to a comfortable height to work on. Bike lift tables are flat steel textured surface plates with a lifting and locking mechanism that holds the…
Read MoreWhy Do Trucks and Buses Use Air Brakes?
The compressed air braking system is a type of friction brake for large vehicles, railroad cars, and other vehicles that carry heavy loads. Air brakes use compressed air that presses on a piston and then applies pressure to the brake pad to stop the vehicle. Air brakes use a pneumatic system or air rams rather…
Read MorePneumatic Air Rams are Found in Common Everyday Tools like Nail Guns
Pneumatic air rams, or more commonly known as pneumatic system, use pressurised gasses to power either a rotation rotor system or a reciprocating piston. By comparison, pneumatic hydraulic systems use liquids to apply pressurised power. Essentially, pneumatic systems work by compressing to a higher pressure that forces a spindle or piston to move. But while…
Read MoreAir Rams: Industrial Equipment is Vital for the Economy During the Pandemic
The present pandemic crisis has turned into a global crisis, unprecedented in scale. No industry has escaped unscathed, even if those sectors are considered as essential. Industrial equipment is no exception. All types of industrial equipment are grappling with this health and economic crisis, as both manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain operations have been disrupted.…
Read MoreAre Industrial Parts Such as Air Rams Considered “Essential”?
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand, manufacturers and distributors are facing challenges on several fronts. At the outset of the economic disruption, the industry had to question whether industrial parts such as valves, cylinders, air rams, etc. were considered as “essential.” The answer was a “yes” because many industries are dependent on industrial parts…
