pneumatic:氣動,是“氣壓傳動與控制”(又稱“氣動技術(shù)”)的簡稱。
Pneumatics is a section of technology that deals with the study and application of pressurized gas to produce mechanical motion.(維基百科定義)
Pneumatic means "related to air or gas." If you've ever gone to a drive-through bank where you put your deposit in a container that gets shot through a tube into the bank, by a blast of air, then you've used a pneumatic tube.
(氣動“pneumatic”意味著與“空氣”或“氣體”有關(guān)。 )
When you pronounce pneumatic, keep the "p" silent. It comes from the Latin root for breath, and in some cases people call spiritual things "pneumatic." In engineering, when something is described as pneumatic, it usually uses air pressure to move things around, like pneumatic tubes, or like the compressor in the whipped cream that pushes air into the liquid cream as it comes out of the can.
(當(dāng)讀“pneumatic”這個單詞時,“p”不發(fā)音。它來自于拉丁語詞根“breath”,有時,人們稱精神層面的東西為“氣”。在工程上,被稱為“pneumatic”的東西,通常使用空氣壓力驅(qū)動動作,例如氣管或?qū)⒛逃蛷墓拮永飻D出來的壓縮機(jī)等。)
“氣動技術(shù)”是以壓縮機(jī)為動力源,以壓縮空氣為工作介質(zhì),進(jìn)行能量傳遞貨信號傳遞的工程技術(shù),是實(shí)現(xiàn)各種生產(chǎn)控制、自動控制的重要手段之一。(國內(nèi)氣動教材定義)
Advantages of pneumatics(氣動技術(shù)的優(yōu)點(diǎn))
Simplicity of design and control—Machines are easily designed using standard cylinders and other components, and operate via simple on-off control.
(設(shè)計(jì)和控制簡單——使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)氣缸和其他氣動元件使得設(shè)計(jì)機(jī)器設(shè)備較為簡單,通過開關(guān)控制易于操作。)
Reliability—Pneumatic systems generally have long operating lives and require little maintenance. Because gas is compressible, Equipment is less subject to shock damage. Gas absorbs excessive force, whereas fluid in hydraulics directly transfers force. Compressed gas can be stored, so machines still run for a while if electrical power is lost.
(可靠——?dú)鈩酉到y(tǒng)一般都具有較長的使用壽命且只需很少量的維護(hù)。由于氣體具有可壓縮性,設(shè)備較少有沖擊損傷問題。氣體能夠吸收過載力,而液壓系統(tǒng)卻只能直接傳送作用力。壓縮氣體可被存儲,因此,當(dāng)斷電時,機(jī)器仍然能夠運(yùn)行。)
Safety—There is a very low chance of fire compared to hydraulic oil. Machines are usually overload safe.
(安全——相比于液壓而言,起火的幾率要小得多。機(jī)器通常能夠做得過載保護(hù)。)
