#070 Examples of LCA Mechanisms Utilizing Compressed Air System
Category : Pneumatic Drives
March18, 2011
Pneumatic actuators are the choice for LCA schemes in general for their ease of drive/control and low costs, instead of complex controls and performances. Here, some application examples of air cylinder LCA mechanism are introduced.
The examples shown are just references, and simply replicating them may not satisfy specific load requirements and expected positioning performances. Individual user application specific parameters and performance targets should be evaluated and appropriate designs should be applied with the guidelines shown below.
