Pneumax and SMC VBA Pressure Boosters
Increase the working pressure of your pneumatic circuits with our selection of Pneumax and SMC VBA pressure boosters. These boosters are ideal for applications where the thrust generated by a standard cylinder is insufficient for the desired task.
Why Use a Pressure Booster?
In some situations, a pneumatic cylinder might not provide enough force to complete its intended function. There are typically three ways to address this issue:
- Increase the working pressure: This can be effective, but most systems have a maximum line pressure of around 6-7 bar.
- Use a larger bore cylinder: A larger cylinder can generate more force, but it may not be suitable for the available space or application requirements.
- Install a pressure booster: Pressure boosters provide a cost-effective and space-saving solution to increase the working pressure in your existing circuit.
Pneumax and SMC VBA Booster Benefits:
- Increased Pressure: Our Pneumax and SMC VBA boosters offer a 2:1 pressure ratio, effectively doubling the output pressure of your compressed air system.
