What is a Pneumatic Tool?
A pneumatic tool orpneumatic-powered tool is a type of tool, that isbeing driven by compressed air,supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. Most pneumatic tools convert the compressed air to work using a pneumatic motor. If it will be compared to their electric equivalents, then it can have said that these tools are way far safer to run and maintain, without any
risk of sparks, short-circuiting or electrocution, and have a higher weight to power tool allowing a smaller, lighter tool to accomplish the same task. Furthermore, they are less likely to self-destruct in case the tool is jammed or overloaded. General grade pneumatic tools with short life span are commonly cheaper and are also called disposable tools in tooling industries while industrial grade pneumatic tools with long life span are more expensive.
How this tool eases out people’s effort
In general, pneumatic tools are cheaper than the equivalent electric-powered tools. Regular lubrication of the tools is still needed.Meanwhile the disadvantages are something very unusual i.e. the need for an air compressor, pneumatic tubing and pneumatic couplings. Air tools were formerly unpopular in the DIY (Do it yourself) market, but are becoming increasingly popular due to costs decreasing, and have always been universal in industrial and manufacturing.These are designed
to make your work easier and eliminate the challenging work that is required to drive nails, turn screws and a variety of other tasks.Most pneumatic tools are. Tools are made to make life easy and comfortable. They are designed in the way by which they can give optimum usage with less sweat. As the time has passed the tools have become a modern and ultra tech. There are a variety of tools which minimize the human exertions and complete the work with the help of the electricity.
Applications
1. Flow or airflow, related to air consumption in pneumatic tools, represents the quantity of compressed air that passes through a section over a unit of time.
2. To be supplied with compressed air at 4 to 6 bars.
3. It is represented in l/min, m3, at the equivalent value in free air in conditions of standard reference atmosphere (SRA), i.e. +20 c, 65% of relative humidity, 1013 mbar, in accordance with norms NFE.
