Abstract-The following article presents the research carried

out in a company dedicated to the sale of pneumatic components..

Keywords-Pneumatics, components, pressure, compression,

actuators, cylinders..

I. INTRODUCTION
An investigation will be conducted on the pneumatic
company SOELEC, through an interview will be made known
the objectives of the company in its field.
An investigation will be implemented with the information
given by the company SOELEC to identify their services and
the areas where it is dedicated, in greater detail..
II. OBJECTIVES

5) which is the best-selling Brand in Bolivia?

Festo.- Festo has established itself as the leading company
in pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and electromechanical
automation, offering integral solutions in its field. To solve
problems in different areas of the industrial branches such as:
automotive, food and packaging, pharmaceutical, electronics,
chemical, paper, textile, mining, among others.

Bindicator.- It is a full service provider of continuous and
point level sensors for industrial applications. Their level
control technologies include rotary vane, capacitive,
vibratory, hydrostatic, diaphragm, weight, cable, and sonar
sensors. Other products include silo aerators, liquid level
controllers and damaged bag detectors.
Bindicator sensors prevent spills due to overflow or lack
of material by monitoring silos, detecting clogged channels
and controlling the activation/deactivation of powder and bulk
solids pumps and conveyors since 1936.

most commercialized in the country and in the city?
Weidmuller.- A German pioneer in the development of
products, solutions and services in the industrial environment
of energy, signals and data. We offer a range of possibilities
for the optimization of processes in the industrial sector. We
seek to promote the 4.0 economy, which is based on the
interconnection of new technologies for the automation of
operational processes to reduce energy costs, production times
and improve quality processes.

❖ Round cylinder ESNU

• Standard hole pattern

• Piston rod can be held or clamped in any position
• The piston rod can be held in position for long periods
even with alternating loads, fluctuating operating pressure or
leaks in the system Additional measures are required for use
in safety-related applications; in Europe, for example, the
standards listed under the EC Machinery Directive must be
observed. Without additional measures in accordance with
legally specified minimum requirements, the product is not
suitable as a safety relevant component in control systems. Stainless steel piston rod
• Good running performance and long service life
• Piston rod with male and female thread
• Extensive range of accessories makes it possible to
install the cylinder virtually anywhere
• The basic versions conform to ISO 6432, variants are
based on these standards
• Piston @ 8 ... 63 mm
• Cylinder barrel made of stainless steel
• Bearing and end caps made of wrought aluminum alloy
Operating mode: The drive is equipped with flexible
polymer end-position cushioning
Application: Small loads, low speeds, low impact energies
Advantages: No adjustment required, Saves tim
