What Are Pneumatics and Applications?

Pneumatic systems use gas or pressurized air to move cylinders, motors or other mechanical parts. Pneumatics applications are relevant to a wide variety of industries, including construction, healthcare, mining, the automotive industry and many others. Specific pneumatic applications can include:

  • Transportation: Air brakes for trains or buses, air engines and compressed air-powered vehicles
  • Healthcare: Dental drills, vacuum pumps and pressure regulators
  • Construction: Pneumatic jackhammers and nail guns
  • Home Systems: Heating and air conditioning control
  • Music: Pipe organs, player pianos

And many more. Pneumatic systems are an extremely useful way to leverage the power of compressed air to run critical machines in manufacturing and factory environments.

Common Pneumatic Machine Issues

Because some pneumatic machines are more complex than others, there are several issues that might arise with your pneumatic systems, including:

  • Actuator moving too slowly
  • Pressure too low
  • Too much air choke
  • Air seal leaks
  • Dirty or damaged filter
  • Directional control valve not changing direction
  • Cylinder drift

Any of these problems are likely to seriously interfere with the functioning and power of your pneumatic machine or system, if they allow the pneumatics to work at all. Fortunately, a trained professional with the right tools will have the solution to any and all of these problems. That’s exactly what you’ll get when you send your failing pneumatic device to Global Electronic Services. Our factory-trained experts have seen just about every problem a pneumatic machine can have and have the knowhow to fix it fast.

GES Pneumatic Repair Process

The first thing we’ll do when we receive your pneumatic device is take it completely apart, piece by piece. We will then visually inspect each component for any signs of excessive wear or damage. We will check the cylinder, filter, valves, seals and all other parts for any leaks, cuts, corrosion or any physical imperfections that could be interfering with the proper operation of the system.

If we find any parts that aren’t up to proper standards of quality and we cannot repair it to like-new status, we will replace it with a new OEM part in top condition. Once we are confident all the components of your pneumatic device are fully functional and up to specifications, we will reassemble your device and test it. If it is not performing exactly according to established parameters for this device, we will cycle through every remedy we have until we resolve the problem.
