What can poor air quality lead to in pneumatic components?

Poor air quality can significantly impact pneumatic components, leading to corrosion and wear over time. Contaminants in the air, such as moisture, dust, oil, and other particulates, can cause deterioration of seals, valves, and other components. This corrosion can lead to leaking, reduced performance, and ultimately, failure of the pneumatic system.

Additionally, moisture can lead to rusting of metallic parts, while particulates can create abrasive wear, leading to critical malfunctions and reduced lifespan of the components. As a result, maintaining high air quality is essential in ensuring the longevity and reliability of pneumatic systems. Reducing the number of contaminants and ensuring proper filtration can mitigate these issues and help maintain optimal functionality.
