How are air tools better than power tools?

Since air tools are generally used as portable tools and require small size and light weight, this goal has been achieved through rationalization of the structure and shape, high-precision machining, strict material selection, and strict heat treatment. Therefore, it is easier to use and more powerful, and has many advantages that power tools do not have. Compared with power tools, it has the following advantages.

1. Working ability
(a). Both provide a variety of different working modes, such as: rotation, reciprocation, swing, impact, etc.
(b). Speed ​​regulation and output power regulation are simple. It is very simple to operate by operating the air supply valve handle and adjusting the regulating valve.
(c). Pneumatic tools can provide more options in the speed range, from 100rpm to 70000rpm.
(d). According to the ratio of weight to volume, the output power is large. In the case of the same output, it is smaller and lighter than a power tool.
(e). No heat and overload failures. Air Impact Wrenches are more suitable for working for a long time without heating, and even if the compressed air engine is overloaded, the tool will only stop rotating. any failure will occur.
(f). In terms of reciprocating motion, pneumatic tools use piston-type motion, while power tools are converted through cams. In contrast, pneumatic tools have more advantages.

2. Environmental adaptability
(a). Strong water resistance. While immersion in water is harmful to tools, it does not have the same hazard of static electricity as power tools. And because it does not generate electric sparks, even if it is used in places with danger of explosion, there is no possibility of ignition and explosion, and it is more suitable for use in coal mines, oil fields and other posts.
(b). Pneumatic tools can work in various bad or harsh environments, but maintenance work (dust removal, water removal, refueling, etc.) must be done well. Pneumatic tools can use internal combustion engine air pumps, so they are more suitable for field work. Pneumatic tools can work for a long time and are suitable for large-scale production lines.

3. Economy
(a). The initial investment of power tools is low, but the long-term use of energy consumption is high, and the cost of tool maintenance and replacement is also high.
(b). The initial investment of pneumatic tools requires the establishment of air pressure pipeline equipment, but the long-term use is low in energy consumption and tool maintenance.
(c). The weight of electric tools is generally 3 to 4 times that of pneumatic tools, which is not suitable for long-term work, while pneumatic tools can improve work efficiency.
