Happy Memorial Day Weekend! MROSupply stands grateful for the commitment and sacrifice made by the military and their families. While we are honoring the memory of service people around the world, operations on Monday May 25th may be slower than usual.
Many industrial applications use linear motion in their operating sequence. The most cost-effective method of achieving this is using a pneumatic actuator (commonly known as air cylinder). Air cylinders are devices for translating a source of static power into a useful output motion. They simply take energy and convert it into a motion that can be applied in ejecting, clamping, or blocking. Air cylinders use compressed air in a piston to move a load on a predefined linear path. Note that unlike the hydraulic systems, air cylinders only use air to reduce the risk of contaminating the environment. There are a number of air cylinders that you can use with your facility. Some of these include rodless cylinders, diaphragm cylinders, through-rod cylinders, and telescoping cylinders. The most popular air cylinder is designed with a piston and rod that move inside a closed cylinder. This category can be divided further into double acting and single acting air cylinders.
