Week #7: (3/7-11) Pneumatic Components

Post by rjagodowski »

NOTE: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!
I will be away for Week #7. For evening classes on March 10th, Professor Barry Mason has offered to open the classroom so you may work on your Pneumatic & Hydraulic labs. He have a class across the hall in 20/M118 and he won't be on campus until about 6:00 pm. He has taught the Fluid Power class before, so he is familiar with the Fluid Power Trainer kits.

For the day section on March 11th, I am cancelling class. I would encourage you to try to perform the Week #7 Fluid Power experiments earlier in the week, such as Monday afternoon, Tuesday or Thursday.

For both Day and Evening Sections, you should view the following tutorials before our next class meeting on Week #9 (Week #8 is Spring Break!!!)



This week we will begin our discussion of Pneumatic Components. Those topics not covered in Week #7 will be completed in Week #9 after Spring Break.

First topic of discussion will be Air Compressors. Here's a Wisc-Online presentation on Types of Pneumatic Compressors. Emphasis will be placed on positive displacement reciprocating single and dual stage compressor types.

Pneumatic Control Valves from AutomationDirect.com

And here's a presentation on
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves

the Air Pilot

and

Pneumatic Actuators.

Simple Pneumatic Circuits

And other related topics:

Pneumatic Filters, Regulators, Lubricators (FRLs)

Pneumatic Schematic Symbols & Flashcards

Pneumatic Air Leaks

Pneumatic Cylinder Flow Control

Pneumatic Cylinder Force Calculator

Manual Control of a Reciprocation Circuit

Repetitive Cylinder Cycling

Designing a Reciprocation Circuit

Pneumatic Air Conservation, which stresses some important concepts regarding the cost to provide pneumatic power, and why it is important to match the output of the compressor to the demands of the pneumatic tools/actuators.
