Establishing a secure and functional link between the conduits of a pneumatic system and its pressure source is a fundamental task in automated systems. This involves the correct selection of fittings, tubing, and sealing methods to ensure leak-free operation and optimal performance of the connected components. An example of this process includes attaching a flexible hose from a compressor outlet to a pneumatic cylinder’s inlet port, facilitating controlled movement.
Proper connection contributes directly to system efficiency, reliability, and safety. Secure connections prevent energy loss through leaks, reducing operational costs and maintaining consistent performance. Furthermore, a well-connected system minimizes the risk of sudden failures or malfunctions, protecting equipment and personnel. Historically, advancements in connection technology have significantly improved the overall performance and durability of pneumatic systems.
