Pneumatics: News for compressed air supply in Industry 4.0
One with the medium of air Power Type and thus realize movement, this is possible with the Pneumatics. We present new pneumatic developments such as pneumatic cylinders, compressors, pneumatic valves, etc. for your design!

As a specialty of Fluid Technology is in contrast to Hydraulic System in pneumatics, compressed air is used to generate movements. The fluidic principle is similar, but instead of liquids in hydraulics, there is gaseous fluid Air for use. The Compressed air system consists of the compressor to generate the compressed air, the compressed air preparation via z. B. Filters with subsequent compressed air distribution via the compressed air network consisting of pipes, hoses and valves and finally the applications. There, pneumatic cylinders convert the compressed air acting on the pistons into mechanical work order, which gives the application its movements. The greatest advantage of pneumatics over hydraulics is the medium of air itself, it is dry and clean, inexpensive and less prone to failure.

Pneumatics for special industries
Applied Research
Fraunhofer develops efficient electrocaloric heat pumps
Today heat pumps work almost exclusively on the basis of compressor technology. Compressors need harmful refrigerants. Against this background, six Fraunhofer institutes are developing highly efficient electrocaloric heat pumps in the Fraunhofer lead project “Elkawe” that do not use harmful refrigerants.
Logistics
Sorting system for packet rush equipped with shock absorbers
The number of online shops and thus the volume of parcels and parcels is increasing. In 2018 there were 330 million deliveries in Germany at Christmas, according to the Federal Association of Parcel and Express Logistics. Sorting systems have to cope with such quantities and above all with peak times. The sorters run at high speeds and must not lose any packages. The new high-end system from Equinox does this with miniature shock absorbers from ACE shock absorbers.
Pneumatics for machines and systems
Calculate pneumatic gas spring | Tips & Tools
gas springs are important components eg in the Automobile- or furniture industry where controlled movements of loads are required. You will also be in the Medical Technology and used in aviation. will be one Gas Spring incorrectly calculated, this can lead to dangerous and expensive damage to a machine or plant. Below you will find information on how to calculate, design and order gas springs online.

The requirements for Pneumatic cylinder are constantly increasing in terms of design, hub, maintenance and energy efficiency. SMC offers ISO cylinders from the CP96 series in accordance with DIN ISO 21287, specifically double-acting in four new versions. They include an ISO standard and compact version, an ISO-based version with energy return and an energy-efficient compact cylinder. This special pneumatic cylinder with energy recovery and the compact cylinder offer a reduction in compressed air consumption of up to 48% - one world first.

The compressors or Compressor compresses and compresses air, water or oil according to the displacement principle or according to the turbo principle. Whether e.g. B. screw compressors, piston compressors or rotary compressors are used and regardless of the principle, they all have in common that they energy efficient have to be. This will become mandatory from July 2023 IE4 Binding energy efficiency level. We present innovations and use cases to you:

SMC presents the improved Soft start valve AV-A series for the Pneumatics. The valves are very compact and offer a flow rate up to 2,2 times higher. They require 80% less energy than the previous models. The range of possible uses of the revised soft start valves increases significantly with the flow rate of up to 13.400 l / min.

IMI Precision Engineering has presented the world's only "Fail Freeze" proportional valve (pressure-maintaining in the event of a fault in the supply voltage) that is certified according to Atex (IS) for use in hazardous environments. The valve of the 422IS series allows the use of flammable gases as a control medium instead of compressed air. This makes compressed air generation at remote locations unnecessary.

Loads of up to 4000 kg per m² can be conveyed gently and practically frictionless on a film of air on the "fixed sliding" ball transfer unit from Orimair. This is particularly advantageous for soft and sensitive surfaces, since the load is absorbed over a large area and not at points. Conveyor tables or vacuum tables of any size can be built with the elements using the mosaic method.

A spring tappet compensates for height and level differences when mounting the suction cup directly. The internal air duct simplifies the tubing. Furthermore, the spring plunger ensures that the suction cup is gently placed on the workpiece. The new anti-twist spring plungers from Fipa reliably protect against dirt thanks to the internal spring.
