Pneumatic Automation - Linear and rotary pneumatic drives

Pneumatic motion automation is a mature technology. Pneumatic cylinders have been available for several decades. Since this type of equipment is now manufactured on a large scale, manufacturers are looking to reduce manufacturing costs.

Originally designed for linear movements, rotary cylinders can now be found in many applications. For the future, the trend is to integrate pneumatic cylinders into mechanical functions, such as pneumatic clamps, separating cylinders, clamping cylinders, indexing cylinders...
