How to Operate a Pneumatic Cylinder from a CO2 Tank

Have you ever wondered how to use pneumatics in situations where having an air compressor is not an option? Using a CO2 tank can be an alternative solution. CO2 is compressed at a much higher PSI than standard air, so it lasts much longer. We were able to run this pneumatic effect for over 2 hours, actuating once every 10 seconds, for a total of over 600 activations on only a quarter of a tank of CO2!
A CO2 tanks can be a great way to incorporate pneumatics into mobile applications like costumes, cosplay, film sets, hayrides and other effects taking place in remote locations where an air compressor may not be an option.

Thank you so much for this genius solution, I was searching for an air pump with fixed budget. All I need now is to get one of these CO2 mini tanks.

I had no idea such a thing existed. I've always been afraid of air compressors, but this is a perfect solution. Thanks!

Why are you scared of air compressors this is much more scary than a air compressor @800psi if this tank would rupture you would be dead instantly it is like carrying a pipe bomb in your hand

thanks for these videos they have been a big help to understanding pneumatic systems! Im looking to use a CO2 tank to a cylinder with a quick release valve... would i need to put to quick release values at both ends of the cylinder or would i need to do something different?

Hi. Im trying to build something similar and am using a 250 bar dive bottle. Could you point me in the right direction for the regulator to use please. Thanks mark

Would you have a recommendation for someone looking for a cylinder to shoot the rod out as hard as possible creating a "shock impulse" into an adjacent fixture with test article?

Hi can you help me. I want to install this to open a driveway gate. Would this be suitable for the application? It won't be used daily. But I imagine it will need to be bigger rams, however would the psi have to increase? 30psi is 30psi on any cylinder is it not?

For maximum fun, use this in a small confined space with zero ventilation

where can you source a cylinder that works with co2?

What product are you using for your pressure regulator? I need a pressure regulator that can screw directly onto a C02 tank and regulate to 100psi.

Can I ask how long is this cylinder?

Hpa would work better it is cheeper at about $4 for a large paintball tank and there is much more in a tank they are about pressurized to about 3000-4500psi

this is a very creative idea, I come from Indonesia, can you help me find a regulator where to buy?

Thank you so much how i can calculate maximum speed of pneumatic cylinder and what is the minimum time of controlling the solenoid valve if can help me please

@derricktriumph4233 3 жыл бұрын

The speed depends on the air pressure and the controlling of the solenoid depends on the switch

Can you use a mini air compressor like the one used to inflate heavy duty car tires in place of the co2 tank?

@BroughtToYouByDDean 2 жыл бұрын

All depends on if it has a high enough psi and it's better to use a compressor that fills a separate air reservoir

the actual reason you get more shots from CO2 is because you have a liquid/solid CO2slushy inside it, which has a higher density than a gas.

Could you use a small CO2 canister instead?

@sackclothministries9118 7 ай бұрын

Yes, you can. I’ve done this. Just need the adapter and the correct regulator. Pretty the exact same set up as this, just with the adapter for the co2 cartridges. Or you can take apart a paintball gun and take what you need to make it work.

Hello, i want to ask, if i use this tank to let say, make a lift under a seat of a motorcycle. the idea is to lift the seat with a person on it. do you think its possible with its capacity?. if so, how many times do you expected that it can actually tilt the seat with a person on it?. and can you suggest an actuator that can withstand the weight?. thank you in advance.

@ernestsegui92 4 жыл бұрын

i think a dc linear actuater run off the batter might work better for your application

i dont get it -- where does the co2 go ? and when?

@kennedydaka4972 2 жыл бұрын

The solenoid valve has a air muffler that’s where the air comes out

@BroughtToYouByDDean 2 жыл бұрын

Through the hose, through the solenoid valve and into the piston then out of the exhaust on solenoid

hi sir ,good sharing , wanna ask how to control the height of the piston ? as we know, pneumatic piston will rise up according to their elongation even we set the low pressure
