Pneumatic Cylinder ISO SC TYPE

Pneumatic cylinder(s) (sometimes known as air cylinders) are switch use the

power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion.

Like hydraulic cylinders, something forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The

piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops to the object

to be moved. Engineers sometimes prefer to use pneumatics because they are quieter,

cleaner, and do not require large amounts of space for fluid storage.

Because the operating fluid is a gas, leakage from a pneumatic cylinder will not drip out

and contaminate the surroundings, making pneumatics more desirable where cleanliness

is a requirement. For example, in the mechanical puppets of the Disney Tiki Room,

pneumatics is used to prevent fluid from dripping onto people below the puppets.
