Pneumatic cylinders are components that perform a movement using compressed air as the medium, which is why they are also referred to as compressed air cylinders. Pneumatic drives are a particularly cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications – even for the most difficult ambient conditions – and are characterized by particularly simple commissioning. Speeds of between 10 mm/s and 3 m/s can be achieved. Pneumatic cylinders are sturdy and flexible thanks to the compressibility of the air, which makes them resistant to the effects of high external forces.
