What is a pneumatic system?

Pneumatic systems are control and automation solutions that operate using compressed air. They work with components such as valves, actuators, air preparation (FRL) units, and connectors.

Should I choose a single-acting or double-acting pneumatic actuator?

If spring return is desired, a single-acting actuator is preferred; if strong and controlled air movement in both directions is required, a double-acting actuator is chosen.

How to select actuator torque?

The valve's opening and closing torque, line pressure, and safety margin are calculated together. In practice, a suitable safety margin is usually included in the selection.

What is NAMUR and why is it important?

NAMUR is the mounting standard that provides a standard connection of the solenoid valve to the actuator. Compatibility is important for ease of installation and selection of the correct accessories.

What should I look for when choosing a solenoid valve?

Voltage (24V DC / 220V AC), connection type (NAMUR/line type), operating pressure, coil type, and suitability for the operating environment (dust/humidity) are important.

What is the function of an FRL (Filter-Regulator-Lubricator)?

It filters the compressed air, regulates the pressure, and provides lubrication when necessary. It extends equipment life and reduces the risk of failure.

How to choose a hose and fitting?

The diameter (mm) is selected according to the operating pressure, temperature, and mounting type. Incorrect diameter/fitting can lead to leaks and performance loss.

What causes leaks in pneumatic equipment?

Incorrect fitting, insufficient tightening, unsuitable sealant, or dirty/damaged threads can cause leaks. Assembly quality is critical.

Where are pneumatic products used?

Automation lines are common in valve control systems, packaging, food, chemical, water treatment, HVAC, and general industrial installation applications.
