  Pneumatic tubing in industrial automation systems is required to function consistently and efficiently. The choice of pneumatic tubing made from nylon tubing, LLDPE tubing, or reinforced PVC tubing significantly affects the efficiency of a system, its durability, and the related maintenance costs. In order to evaluate multi-material pneumatic tubing for use in industrial automation, the various performance characteristics are considered in conjunction with the application environment and the related life cycle costs. What Factors Should Be Considered When Selecting Pneumatic Tubing Materials? When choosing between nylon, LLDPE, and reinforced PVC, several key performance criteria must be weighed by engineers.…

  Pneumatic systems require the correct choice of tubing to function correctly. There are a number of choices including polyurethane (PU), nylon and polyethylene tubes and the choice between them is heavily influenced by the application and environment in which the system is to function. In addition to safety considerations the choice of pneumatic tube will also have a significant bearing on the potential maintenance costs over time. In this article we shall examine the key factors that influence the choice of pneumatic tubing and discuss the performance of polyurethane tubes in typical industrial applications. What Factors Should Be Considered…

Polyurethane pneumatic tubing is used in various industries such as industrial automation, fluid transfer and in compressed air systems. For pneumatic tubing distributors sourcing in bulk, it is more than just finding the lowest price. There are various key factors to evaluate, such as technical characteristics of products, supplier performance and compliance with international standards. By implementing a data-driven procurement process, the performance of pneumatic tubes can be guaranteed, potential failures can be avoided, and long-term success can be achieved. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the main purchasing criteria for purchasing large quantities of polyurethane pneumatic tubing. What…

Pneumatic tubing is the lifeblood of air powered systems. Used to power automation, robots and a host of other manufacturing processes high quality tubing is made using the best materials and manufacturing techniques. However even the best of tubing can fail – often as a result of poor installation or operation in harsh environments. Tubing can crack, kink or burst leading to costly downtime and potentially putting the operator at risk. The reasons for such failures are often due to the properties of the materials used in the tubing and the ways in which they are joined together to form…

  When selecting the raw material for an industrial pneumatic system the tubing performance, durability and compliance are all determined by the chosen material. For large bulk buyers of pneumatic tubing the decision between using virgin resin or recycled material is not just about price, it is a strategic decision that will impact the system as a whole. When purchasing in large quantities the buyer must consider whether their chosen material will be suitable for their operation. The material selected will have an immediate effect on the quality of the tubing as well as the long-term durability against wear and…

  Polyurethane pneumatic tubing (PU tubing) is used in current automation systems. As a very flexible and abrasion-resistant and also chemical-resistant material it is used as pneumatic tubing in automation. Because of its ability to maintain the shape while being under pressure it can be used in dynamic pneumatic circuits. The Push-in fittings can be connected to the PU tubing in a very easy way. Without any tool the connections are done within seconds and are 100% leak-tight. In addition the change of the tubes is much easier than before. The interaction of the outer diameter (OD) tolerance of the…
