How Do Pneumatic Tools Work?

For many die hard home improvement fans, having the correct tools in order to complete a DIY task is extremely important. The correct tools will not only make your repairs much more accurate and provide you with a better finish; but will also provide you with more safety when using the needed tools. However, although many home improvers may have the correct tools, many may not be aware of how they actually work.

Air Power Tool

In many cases it's extremely important as without the proper knowledge, one may be at risk of injuring themselves, or causing some form of damage within their home due to lack of knowledge. One of the most popular home improvement tools you may find in many homes is a pneumatic tool. These are exceptionally popular as they allow the user to power a wide range of DIY tools with the simple use of pressurised air. But what components are used and how exactly does the use of pressure help power tools?

Air Power Tool

Pneumatic tools require air pressure in order to work, in short-they provide the power which is needed to power the desired tools. The machine itself works with the aid of an air compressor which has a gas-powered pump mechanism which continuously forces air into a steel container until the air becomes pressurised enough. The tool is then attached to a hose which is connected to the steel tank via an air valve.

Due to the high level in which the air is being pumped into the air compressor, the air is under a great deal of constant pressure. However, the air can only be relieved via its release valve which can only be opened or closed to control the air pressure when the pneumatic tool's air hose is connected. Once the hose is connected, this will cause the valve to open, allowing the pressurised air to escape directly into the hose. The hose also has an additional air release valve on the end which will remain closed for the duration of its use until it has been attached to the air gun. Once this is attached, the airway will become completely open which will allow the pressurised air to be sent directly into the air gun.

Finally, there is the air gun which is needed in order to power the tools required. All pneumatic tools, regardless of their use or size, will have their own air valve or firing pin. However, the pneumatic air gun will also have a safety mechanism on its tip in order to keep the user safe at all times. The firing mechanism will only be active in the event that the tip of air gun is being pressed against something, meaning that air will not be able to pass out through the gun in any other instance.

When the trigger of the air gun is pulled, this will cause the firing 'pin' on pneumatic tools to open the valve situated inside the gun. The movement of the air will cause the barrel to shoot out air at a high velocity, making the intended tool work. Finally, it is important to be aware that the size and type of tool you are looking to power will determine which type of air compressor you will need. This is because the size of the tool will determine how much air it needs in order to work and without the correct air compressor, this could potentially affect the overall performance of the pneumatic tool.
