What is pneumatics? Basics, areas of application and advantages

The principle of pneumatics is based on the fact that mechanical movement can be generated by compressing air. In pneumatics, compressed air is used as an energy source to fulfil various tasks. A compressor generates the compressed air, which is transported through pipes or hoses to various mechanical components. These components include valves, cylinders, motors and other mechanical elements.

Put simply, compressed air is used to set pistons or other moving parts in motion. For example, when compressed air is fed into a piston cylinder, the piston moves in the desired direction due to the pressure of the air. By controlling the air pressure and flow, the force and speed of the piston are precisely controlled.

TRI-MATIC pneumatics can be used in various industries. These include applications with pneumatic fittings, in industrial robots, distribution and assembly systems or packaging machines. They are used to precisely control production and conveyor systems or to quickly and efficiently automate assembly and packaging processes.

Pneumatics: advantages at a glance

The use of our pneumatics in automation technology offers you a number of advantages. The possible applications are diverse. Pneumatic systems can sometimes be used in potentially explosive areas. Another advantage of pneumatics is the ability to control movement processes with a high repetition rate and high precision requirements very precisely. The pneumatic systems react quickly and reliably, allowing processes to be accelerated enormously.
