1 – Pneumatic actuators (cylinders) Double effect pneumatic cylinders F = P S *
v a F = P S * P S - k v2 * * a = F - Ff = M a * M Ff = k v2 * V Speed is not controllable. The cylinder maximum speed is achieved when friction forces (kv2) equal those that produce the advancing movement (F = P.S), and a = 0.
v v a a V v - The impact produced when reaching the end of the run is reduced using a shock absorber.

Single effect cylinders Double effect cylinders
Example of commercial pneumatic cylinders (Lateral guides to prevent axial rotation )
Oval pistons to prevent the rotation of the axis avoiding the need of auxiliary guides
l l 2 Classical cylinders drawbacks: a displacement of length l requires an additional length l.
Dl l Solutions to reduce the occupied space
Movement transmission Adjusting band Shock-absorber adjustment Cylinder’s sleeve Piston Adjusting band
Pneumatic actuators (cylinders) - Economic - Reliable - High operation speed - Operation at constant force - Resistant to overloads - No speed control - Poor position speed - Noisy operation
