All our Pneumatic
systems and components are chosen to have a working pressure
of 6 bar (Approx 90psi ) - to
be compatable with Airmuscles
|

|
Tube,Fittings,
Seals and Manifolds
The
low pressure components have been chosen for ease of use to allow
Airmuscle Pneumatic systems to be built as quickly and as economically
as possible.
The main theme is the Push-Fit type of connector with a selection
of adaptors to allow crossing over to other large system components
such as valves, filters and manifolds.
We also supply various colours of nylon air tubing of relevent diameters
and economy or bulk lengths

Filters,
Regulators and Compressors
Airmuscles require up to 6 bar of air pressure. This air
must be clean and oil free since oils used in compressors and normally
lubricated air systems will adversely affect the material of the airmuscle
bladder.
Thus a regulator for maximum air pressure is required and compressor
or pump to supply the air.
The filter will remove water and oil from the incoming air |

VALVES
To control the flow of air into and out of airmuscles and other components
of your pneumatic system you need Valves.
These come in 4 main types -
a) Mechanically operated valves - where you, a servo or some
other method must be provided to operate the valve.
b) Electrically operated valves - where an electric current
is used directly on the valve to operate it
c) Check Valves - passive non return valves to prevent the
flow of air in the reverse ofthe required direction.
d) Air operated valves - to operate an air flow, cut off a
compressor at top pressure - or to block a line in the case of a burst
