What is PD ISO/TR 22165 - Pneumatic fluid power about?
PD ISO/TR 22165 discusses pneumatic fluid power. Pneumatic fluid power technologies use a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another. With hydraulics, the fluid is a liquid (usually oil), whereas pneumatics uses gas (usually compressed air). PD ISO/TR 22165 gives advice on how to conceive pneumatic systems, which under consideration of functionality and economic efficiency, can be operated with increased energy efficiency.
Typical applications for pneumatics in stationary machines are:
- Movements (linear, rotary)
- Clamping, pressing, moving, separating, positioning, and orienting of workpieces
- Packing, filling, dosing, locking, opening
Note: PD ISO/TR 22165 does not focus on compressed air generation and distribution.
Who is PD ISO/TR 22165 - Pneumatic fluid power for?
PD ISO/TR 22165 on pneumatic fluid power is useful for:
- Pneumatic system equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
- Research and development facilities
Why should you use PD ISO/TR 22165 - Pneumatic fluid power?
The energy consumption of a stationary machine is not only defined by the type of machine (for example, turning machine, injection moulding machine) but significantly by the requirements of the machine manufacturer and the mode of use of the machine. Only if the machine is optimally adapted to need (for example, working cycle, precision, grade of automatisation), can the energy concept have developed for it to work. PD ISO/TR 22165 gives advice on how to conceive pneumatic systems.
PD ISO/TR 22165 discusses that the more precise the specifications on forces, cycle times, precision, lifetime etc. are, the more economically (also from an energetic point of view) machines can be designed, and drive concepts using, for example, pneumatics, hydraulics, electrics, or combinations of these technologies, can be developed.
Examples of measures are listed in PD ISO/TR 22165 through which a pneumatic system can be optimally adapted to the demand. In this context, it should be considered that some of the listed measures exclude each other and that they should be selected according to their requested functionality. Using PD ISO/TR 22165 you understand how to conceive pneumatic systems, which under consideration of functionality and economic efficiency, can be operated with increased energy efficiency.
