Pneumatikhydraulisk

Pneumatikhydraulisk refers to a hybrid system that combines the principles of pneumatics and hydraulics to achieve specific operational advantages. In such systems, pneumatic power is typically used to compress a hydraulic fluid, which then performs the main work. This integration allows for the leveraging of the rapid response and clean operation of pneumatics with the high force and precise control capabilities of hydraulics.

The core concept often involves a pneumatic cylinder driving a hydraulic intensifier or cylinder. Air pressure acts on a larger diameter piston in the pneumatic section, which in turn actuates a smaller diameter piston in the hydraulic section. This mechanical advantage results in a significant increase in hydraulic pressure, allowing for the generation of high forces from relatively low air pressures. Pneumatikhydraulisk systems are valued for their ability to provide high output forces without the need for a large, high-pressure hydraulic power unit.

Applications for pneumatikhydraulisk technology can be found in various industrial settings. They are commonly employed in manufacturing processes that require substantial clamping forces, such as in metal forming, assembly lines, and injection molding. These systems can also be used for lifting, pressing, and testing equipment where a controlled, high force is necessary. The operational simplicity, relatively low maintenance requirements, and safety aspects, such as the absence of significant hydraulic fluid leaks in the pneumatic component, make them an attractive choice for many industrial engineers.
