Clamp cylinders are used to clamp milling and drilling tools in mineral and ore industry. These clamp cylinders use pneumatic mechanism for operations and are filled with compressed gas to move the piston and hold it firmly in one place. Thus a great amount of force is exerted that holds tools in their apt position.One of the major concerns related to the use of clamp cylinders is the compressibility of a gas. It has been observed that the compression on the cylinder that is further applied by the gas in it due to load may mess with the precision of the mechanism. This phenomenon has been observed most prominently in vertical load bearing where the entire load in on the cylinder. Although studies have shown that the pressure on the cylinder is not as menacing. Thus quality manufacture and maintenance of clamp cylinders is quintessential.
