Air pumpsĪnother important element of pneumatics, as they are used to pump the air or gas through the system. The pressurized air is then used as and when necessary. Typically, air compressors work by pushing air or gas into an air receiver tank, which creates a rise in pressure in the system. These are integral to most pneumatic systems as they are usually the main source of air flow used to power a range of components such as motors, pumps and cylinders. Air reservoirs help to regulate the overall pressure in the system by providing a regular flow of pressurized air, thereby ensuring the machine can operate continually. Here’s an overview of some of the components available: Air reservoirsĪlso known as air receiver tanks or air compressor receiver tanks, these collect and store air which is then delivered into the pneumatic system when needed. There are several types of air compressors, process pumps and air compressor receiver tanks to suit a variety of different machines. This ensures that the mechanism always operates effectively, with no sudden drops in pressure that could potentially affect performance. What are air compressors and process pumps?Īir pumps and compressors are an important component of all pneumatic systems regardless of their size, as they provide a continual flow of air at the required pressure.
