Tech Toolbox: Pneumatics
Pneumatics is a fluid power technology similar to hydraulics in that it transmits force through a pressurized medium to create useful work. However, pneumatic technology differs from hydraulics in every critical fashion — compressibility. To be fair, hydraulic oil compresses as well, but only 0.4 percent every thousand psi or so. However, in the simplest…
Pneumatics in food manufacture
Pneumatic actuation is ubiquitous in food and beverage-processing equipment because it outperforms electric automation for many tasks.
