Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air to produce linear motion. They consist of a cylindrical chamber, a piston, and a rod, and convert energy from compressed air into mechanical force. When compressed air is introduced into the cylinder, it pushes the piston, which in turn moves the rod in a linear direction. The force and speed of the cylinder’s movement can be controlled by adjusting air pressure and the size of the cylinder. Several types of pneumatic cylinders, including single-acting, double-acting, and rotary cylinders, are used in industrial automation and motion control applications.
