Pneumatic Hydraulic Presses | Hydro Pneumatic Presses

Introduction

The term "Pneumatic Presses" refers to the engineering tool or machinery that uses energy derived from compressed AIR for stimulating their internal movements. The device functions on the fundamental process of converting potential energy (i.e. stored compressed AIR) into kinetic energy (i.e. actual motion). The best part of using pneumatic presses is that the operations are safer and cleaner.

Types of Pneumatic Presses

Some of the types of presses available in the market include pneumatic presses, hydro pneumatic presses and hydraulic pneumatic presses. Well, if we look at the features and advantages offered by pneumatic or hydro pneumatic presses, it scores higher as compared to hydraulic pneumatic presses. The positive aspects of pneumatic or hydro pneumatic presses are:

They are cheaper as compared to hydraulic pneumatic presses as the operate with compressed air at 5 to 6 kg/cm2 pressure
Actions are faster and simpler as compared to hydraulic pneumatic presses
The components of pneumatic or hydro pneumatic presses are cheaper as compared to components of hydraulic pneumatic presses.
They provide power strokes ranging from 6 mm to 12 mm
Hydro pneumatic presses are available with capacity ranging from 1 ton to 30 tonnes
They are capable of performing automatically if applied automatic feeding
No worry of handling oil pumps or tanks
Hydro pneumatic presses come in c-frame, 2 column or 4 column

Applications

Some of the products/devices where pneumatic or hydro pneumatic presses are widely used are electronics, refrigerating, LPG valves, wires, cables and batteries.
