A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that operates using compressed air. It consists of a hollow barrel, two pistons and an inlet for air. When air is introduced into the cylinder, it forces one of the pistons to move, creating linear motion. Pneumatic cylinders are commonly used in various industries for tasks such as lifting, pushing or pulling. They offer numerous advantages over hydraulic systems, including lower cost, faster speed and easier maintenance.
