Energy conservation for pneumatic systems is very important because energy conservation in industry is a world-wide problem related to protection of the environment. In this paper, we have researched energy conservation for pneumatic systems. Practically, features of pneumatic drive systems are clarified from the viewpoint of protection of the global environment, and reduction in air consumption is most effective for conserving energy in pneumatic equipment.
In addition we propose a method to achieve reduction in air consumption for the pneumatic cylinder system operated by PTP driving, and examined methods realizing practical applications for various pneumatic systems.
