Elements ofpneumaticcircuits
Provides the circuit with compressed air. There are two types: reciprocating compressors and rotary compressors.
Usually made of steel or brass, soldered together or connected by steel or plastic connectors

Rotary actuators produce the rotating movement of an axle.
Directional control valves: 2/2 valves and 4/2 valves
Reciprocatingactuators
Flow control valves
Shut-off valves: non-return valves, dual-pressure valves and shuttle valves
Pneumatic circuits are used in can-crushing machines, door open/close systems and pneumatic drills.

Single-acting cylinders move a piston in one direction.
Double-acting cylinders move the piston back and forward.
Air dryers, filters, lubricators, pressure relief valves, conditioning units, silencers

PumpPump Gear pumps or screw pumps
Hydraulic circuits use a pump instead of a compressor. They can be used in platform lifts, forklift trucks and hydraulic presses.
