Technology 4 ESO – Unit 7 PNEUMATIC AND HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS page 95 activity 27
a) In the video we can see a pneumatic system. First the video shows the system drawn realistically, then its diagram.
- I) What type of cylinder is it?
- II) What valves can you see? What are their functions?
- III) What valve has a pedal operator?
- IV) Explain how the circuit works.
b) Using a real example, the video explains how to operate a double acting cylinder using a 5/2 way pneumatic solenoid valve.
- I) What are the air chambers? What is their function?
- II) What does the valve have at its ends?
- III) What is the “manual override”?
- IV) What are the “inlet port”, “exhausts” and “outlet ports”?
- V) What are the “push-in-fittings”?
- VI) What are the “pneumatic mufflers”?
- VII) What are the “air supply”?
- VIII) How can we control the cylinder remotely?
- IX) How can we control the cylinder manually?
c) What are the differences between the circuit in this video and the circuit in the previous video?
