Is An Air Over Oil System For You?
In order to use compressed air, you first have to compress it. It’s that compressibility of air that can create problems when you are trying to use it to stroke an air cylinder smoothly or with consistent stroke timing. To product consistent, smooth cylinder rod travel, or a consistent speed-of-stroke from end to end, cycle after cycle, then a traditional air cylinder just won’t do. ...

Is My Air Cylinder Worth Fixing?
What do you do when you've undertaken the diagnosis steps written about in my article titled " Compressed air leaking? Is it the valve or is it the cylinder?" in this E-zine, and you have determined that it is the air cylinder that is the problem? The seals inside the air cylinder that allow the cylinder to function and those that keep the air inside the cylinder where it is supposed to be wear out... (posted by Bill 5 years 79 days ago.)

What About the Air-Lines?
It's really easy to pick up a low cost air compressor at the local store anymore. But, how do you get the air from the compressor to your application? Folks that are plumbing up compressed air lines for their garages or workshops at home, as well as the professional plant person, have a variety of options with which to do connect the various air-lines available to them. Usually the air compressor will come... (posted by Bill 5 years 186 days ago.)

Don't Use a Needle Valve To Control Your Air Cylinder Speed!
Many industrial machines using compressed air as an energy source, use air cylinders or other pneumatic actuators to do the actual work. Compressed air is 'explosive' as it moves from high pressure to low pressure on it's way back to atmosphere. That means when the air valve shifts and air flows to the cylinder, the cylinder piston and rod moves extremely quickly. A high speed... (posted by Bill 5 years 209 days ago.)

Seven Secrets for Buying an Air Brush Compressor
If you're looking for an air-brush compressor, there are a few things you have to consider. The first big question is to ask whether this is for home or professional use. Home use doesn't require the same dependability or rugged construction (and comes with a lower price tag) while commercial use requires better quality, these compressors will last longer under heavy-duty usage but come with higher...

What's a 4/2 Compressed Air Valve?
Recently, I published articles on this site entitled: What's a 2/2 or what's a 3/2 compressed air valve? Here, in the next installment in this series, is information on the 4/2 style. The first number in the 4/2 air valve, the four, refers to the number of "working" air ports that are found in the valve body. That is, the number of ports that supply air to the valve, and channel the compressed air... (posted by Bill 5 years 61 days ago.)
