Because air cylinders produce fast, repeatable motion, achieve high cycling rates, and do not generate substantial heat, they are well suited to factory automation systems. However, air is compressible—which is an advantage in many applications, but complicates closed-loop motion control. A solution often overlooked is to incorporate a closed hydraulic circuit to regulate speed and provide load holding for the otherwise all-pneumatic system.
