Abstract
It is very important to discuss the energy-saving for pneumatic systems, because the energy-saving in industry is a worldwide problem related to the protection of the environment. In this paper, we have researched on the energy-saving for pneumatic systems. Practically, features of the pneumatic driving system are clarified from the viewpoint of the protection of the global environment, and the reduction in the air consumption is most effective to attempt the energy saving on the pneumatic equipments. In addition we propose the method to apply the reduction in the air consumption for the pneumatic cylinder system, which operates PTP driving, and examined to realize the method for various pneumatic systems in practical use.
