Pneumatics & Hydraulics
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Tavoron help reduce compressed air costs at the cylinder level?
Yes. Right-sizing cylinders, eliminating leaks, optimizing FRL settings, and integrating regulated dual-pressure circuits can reduce compressed air consumption meaningfully. Pair this work with a Compressed Air Energy Audit for plant-wide savings.
How do I choose between pneumatic and hydraulic actuation?
Pneumatic actuation is preferred for high-cycle, lower-force applications where speed and clean operation matter. Hydraulic actuation delivers far greater force density and is preferred for pressing, clamping, and heavy-duty motion. Our application engineers help match technology to your duty cycle and force requirements.
What does FRL stand for in pneumatics?
FRL stands for Filter, Regulator, Lubricator - three components that prepare compressed air for use by removing contaminants, controlling pressure, and (when needed) adding lubrication. A properly sized FRL extends the life of every downstream pneumatic component.
