AIR PUMP APPARATUS USING ELECTRIC ACTUATOR AND AIR PUMP SYSTEM

摘要

An air pump apparatus is provided which uses an electric actuator that can electrically operate a pneumatic device such as a suction pad or air chuck. The air pump apparatus includes an air cylinder having a built-in piston, and an electric actuator configured to move the piston linearly and relatively to the air cylinder, using the electric motor as a drive source. Air under negative pressure and/or positive pressure generated by the electric actuator causing the piston of the air cylinder to move linearly is used to operate a pneumatic device.
