Comparison of the Advantages of Explosion-proof Electric Cylinders, Pneumatic Cylinders and Hydraulic CylindersApr 24, 2025

What are the advantages of explosion-proof electric cylinders compared with traditional pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders?


In terms of energy consumption:

Explosion-proof electric cylinders directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, with high energy conversion efficiency and low energy consumption. In today's era of advocating energy conservation and environmental protection, this advantage is particularly important. According to relevant data statistics, the energy consumption of explosion-proof electric cylinders is significantly lower than that of traditional pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders.

In large-scale 3C electronics manufacturing enterprises, the energy consumption of a large number of devices is a considerable expense. Using explosion-proof electric cylinders can effectively reduce the energy costs of enterprises and also comply with the requirements of national environmental protection policies.

During the operation of pneumatic cylinders, a large amount of compressed air needs to be consumed. The generation of compressed air requires a large amount of electrical energy, and there are also energy losses during the transmission process, resulting in relatively high overall energy consumption.

In terms of maintenance:

The structure of explosion-proof electric cylinders is relatively simple, mainly composed of components such as motors, ball screws, and nuts, and there is no complex pipeline and valve system. This makes the maintenance work very convenient. In daily use, it is only necessary to regularly check the operation status of the motor, the lubrication condition of the ball screw, and the tightening degree of the nuts, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the explosion-proof electric cylinder.

Moreover, explosion-proof electric cylinders are usually equipped with a fault diagnosis system that can monitor the operation status of the equipment in real time. Once a fault is detected, it will promptly issue an alarm and display the fault information, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot and repair.

In contrast, due to their complex structures, numerous pipelines and valves, hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders are prone to faults such as leakage and blockage, and the maintenance difficulty is relatively high. Professional maintenance personnel are required for regular maintenance, which not only increases the maintenance costs of enterprises but also affects the normal progress of production.
