As a beginner, I saw these devices on site and searched for information online, but I still don’t understand why pneumatic actuators are necessary. If exhaust is needed, isn’t it sufficient to simply allow air to escape?
What kind of factory are you? Pneumatic actuators are likely the most commonly used type of actuator in chemical automation applications, while hydraulic/electric actuators are used less frequently
In other words, it might be the solution in the tank
For pneumatic safety, in areas where painting is done, using electric tools can pose risks.
Pneumatic actuators require a gas supply; they should be used in locations where such a supply is available, as they are explosion-proof and safe； Without a gas source, only electric ones can be used.
Pneumatic safety; for electric systems, the cost of explosion protection is too high
