Seals are one of the most critical elements in a pneumatic system. They’re designed to prevent air or gases from leaking out so that the system always maintains the necessary pressure. A fully pressurised and airtight system operates more efficiently and is easier to control.

Pneumatic & hydraulic systems control and convert energy into mechanical action by manipulating pressurized gases or fluids, respectively. Each system operates under distinct principles that suit various industrial applications, optimizing tasks with specific power and precision requirements.
If you’re using a general-purpose actuator for an application, various factors might affect your choice. These include your application’s requirements for speed, accuracy, repeatability and force, as well as the complexity of the actuator’s design and the environments in which you want to use it.
Pneumatic actuators convert compressed air into mechanical motion, enabling precise and efficient control in various industrial applications.
Manufacturing industry trends have seen a rise in the use of electric actuation over pneumatic, which has raised questions about whether pneumatic actuators are slowly being phased out.
In the last century, very few industries needed a clean room, but modern technology changed all that. Microelectronics manufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical and the processing of food and beverages all demand absolute sterility.
Five years ago – a long time in technological terms – “The Evolution of Advanced Automation” was discussed in a presentation at the Industry & Economic Outlook Conference in the United States, held by the National Fire Protection Association.
As the field of soft robotics continues to evolve, one of the most critical challenges researchers face is developing reliable and efficient power sources to drive these pliable machines.

Robotic actuators stand at the forefront of technological innovation, transforming energy into motion to breathe life into robots, enhancing their capabilities in an ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation.
Actuators are an integral part of instrumentation systems that power the machines that exist today. These devices make it possible for the machines to interact with their surroundings the way they do. In this article, we take a closer look at the omnipresent technology.
Industry 4.0 is changing the traditional way that manufacturing and production are accomplished, and a positive turn towards clean energy means that more and better air-driven components are available.
Pneumatic systems are widely used in all sorts of machines, engines and industrial applications. Every pneumatic system runs on compressed air or gas, in order to move an actuator, and can be as simple as a single air-driven piston, or as complex as a mining operation with multiple actuators.
Any type of modern construction or manufacturing application is probably going to incorporate one or all of three different kinds of power: electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic.
Machine building has become more complex with the introduction of more automated systems, and designers must devote more careful attention to the newer safety standards that apply.
