What can excessive air pressure in a pneumatic system lead to?

Excessive air pressure in a pneumatic system can lead to an increased risk of system failure due to several critical factors. When pressure exceeds the manufacturer's recommended specifications, it can result in stress on various components within the system. This undue stress may cause seals to break, hoses to burst, or fittings to leak, all of which can lead to significant operational problems or complete system failure.

Additionally, excessive pressure can also cause misalignment in the actuators, inefficient operation of control valves, and can compromise the integrity of the entire system. All these issues undermine the reliability of the pneumatic system and can lead to costly downtime and repairs. Therefore, maintaining optimal pressure is essential for ensuring longevity and reliability in pneumatic applications.
