Õhkpõhised

Õhkpõhised refers to a category of technologies or systems that utilize air as a primary medium for operation or as a fundamental component. This can encompass a wide range of applications, from pneumatic systems in industrial automation to air-powered vehicles and even air-based sensing technologies.

In the context of industrial automation, õhkpõhised systems, often referred to as pneumatics, employ compressed air to generate force and motion. These systems are known for their simplicity, reliability, and ability to operate in harsh environments. They are commonly used for tasks such as clamping, lifting, and actuating machinery.

The concept also extends to transportation. Air-powered vehicles, though less common than their electric or combustion engine counterparts, represent a form of õhkpõhised technology. These vehicles store compressed air and release it to drive a motor or piston, offering a potentially zero-emission alternative for short-distance travel.

Furthermore, õhkpõhised principles can be applied to sensing and measurement. Air jets or flows can be used to detect the presence, shape, or movement of objects. This is particularly useful in quality control and manufacturing processes where non-contact detection is required. The underlying principle remains the manipulation or utilization of air to achieve a specific outcome.
