TME – Hvordan fremstilles pneumatiske aktuatorer? Fremstilling af aktuatorer i 6 trin med eksemplet fra den polske producent Pneumat
Pneumatiske aktuatorer er alsidige og populære komponenter, der anvendes i opbygningen af produktionslinjer, i robotaktuatorer og i transportudstyr. De er også velegnede til brug i bremsesystemer, energiproduktion samt i træ- og papirindustrien. De er uundværlige elementer i presser, værktøjsmaskiner og sorteringsanlæg. I hverdagen finder vi dem også i biler (bagklapper og platforme) og i møbler (kontorstole, skabslåger osv.). Deres konstruktion er enkel og driftssikker, men kræver præcision og fokus på kvalitet. I denne artikel ser vi nærmere på, hvordan disse komponenter fremstilles, ved at analysere produktionsprocessen hos den polske producent Pneumat.

Actuator manufacturing at Pneumat is a precisely planned process, in which technology is combined with experience and an individual approach to the specific requirements of the installation. From technical advice, through design, manufacturing and quality control – all the way to final shipment – each stage is carried out to the highest standards. Pneumat offers a wide range of pneumatic actuators, including special customized versions.
Step I. Pneumat actuators needs analysis – commercial inquiry, technical advice and consultation, production order
Pneumat’s pneumatic actuator order process begins when you make an inquiry and determine your actuator requirements. This is the first step on the way to delivering a precisely selected, high quality industrial automation component. Depending on the situation, inquiries are handled in two basic variants – each of which leads to the realization of a personalized pneumatic solution.
Variant I: Selection of actuator based on catalog type
In many cases, Pneumat solutions are to be used in existing equipment, replacing older or worn-out solutions. Technical advisors, based on dimensional standards and ISO standards (e.g. ISO 15552, ISO 6432), suggest an equivalent actuator from the offer of Pneumat. Thanks to an extensive database of pneumatic actuators available from stock, Pneumat is able to quickly match a compatible replacement – without compromising on technical parameters or mounting method. In TME off-the-shelf catalog there are typical actuator variants with piston stroke ranging from 5mm, 10mm, 12mm, up to 900mm and 1000mm).
Variant II: Individual actuator specification
The second scenario is the situation, in which only technical requirements are specified, such as:
- piston diameter,
- stroke length,
- type of action (unilateral, double-sided),
- type of mounting,
- working conditions (e.g. temperature, dustiness, cyclicality).
Based on this information, customized offers are created – both in terms of actuator functionality, as well as economic optimization. Such individual orders can also be carried out through TME – our specialists will assist in handling and pricing such orders.
Acceptance and transfer of the order for execution
Upon acceptance, the production process of the pneumatic actuator is initiated – taking into account specifications and guidelines. Production management system in Pneumat System automatically redirects the request to the assembly department, where the next, key stage – physical execution of the ordered component.
Step II. Completion of pneumatic actuator components in accordance with standards and technical specifications
Today’s industry is all about speed, repeatable quality and compliance with international standards. That’s why Pneumat completes standard orders for piston rod and pistonless actuators in no more than 24 hours. Such operational efficiency is the result of a perfectly organized production process and the availability of components to the most commonly used standards – m.including. ISO 6432 and ISO 15552 (formerly ISO 6431) .
Piston rod actuator manufacturing – cutting, machining, fitting
In the case of standard piston rod actuators the first step is to precisely cut aluminium Profiles and piston rods with the required length and diameter. The manufacturer uses among others:
- chromium-plated steel from 4 to 40mm in diameter,
- stainless steel for applications with higher environmental requirements (e.g. food or pharmaceutical industry).
