The Difference between A Hydraulic Cylinder And An Air Cylinder

(1) A cylinder is a component of a pneumatic system that converts pneumatic energy into mechanical energy. A hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion. The pressure range of general cylinders used in pneumatic systems is 0.2 to 2Mpa. In fact, they cannot be used as high-power power components. However, when used in hydraulic systems, relatively speaking, the products can be made into larger power components.

(2) The air used in the cylinder is an inexhaustible energy supply from the perspective of its own medium, without any difficulty in cost supply. At the same time, the used pollution-free gas can be directly released, which is convenient for treatment. However, this is not the case with the product.

(3) The air resistance used by the cylinder is very small, but the hydraulic oil used in the hydraulic cylinder will have relatively strong resistance.

(4) Because the compression rate of air is much greater than that of liquid, the stability of operation will be far inferior. The product is an important actuator in the hydraulic system. It can convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and can be combined with various transmission mechanisms to complete various mechanical movements. The product features a simple structure, large output force, stable and reliable performance, convenient use and maintenance, and a wide range of applications.
