Pneumosüsteemid

Pneumosüsteemid, commonly referred to as pneumatic systems, are mechanical systems that utilize compressed gas, typically air, to transmit power. They operate by storing energy in a compressed gas and then releasing it in a controlled manner to perform work. The fundamental components of a pneumatic system include a compressor to generate the compressed gas, a reservoir or tank to store it, valves to control the flow and direction of the gas, and actuators (like cylinders or motors) that convert the gas pressure into mechanical motion. Filters and dryers are often included to remove moisture and contaminants from the air, ensuring system longevity and reliable operation.

The advantages of pneumatic systems include their relative simplicity, low cost of maintenance, and inherent safety due to the incompressibility of air, which prevents sudden uncontrolled movements. They are also resistant to harsh environmental conditions and can operate at high speeds. However, pneumatic systems can be less energy-efficient than hydraulic systems and may suffer from a lack of precise control and potential for leakage. Common applications for pneumatic systems span various industries, from manufacturing and automation for moving parts and controlling machinery, to medical devices and even vehicle braking systems. Their ease of use and robust nature make them a versatile choice for many power transmission needs.
