[Note: Part 1 of this article presents basics of air compressors. Part 2 presents the classification and the construction details of air compressors. Part 3 presents a brief about the sizing of air compressors.] A power source in a pneumatic system generates and distributes compressed air to all of its actuators. A compressor converts mechanical... Continue Reading →
Two pressure scales are utilized to measure pressure values in fluid power systems: a gauge scale and an absolute scale. The gauge pressure is the pressure indicated by a pressure gauge. It is a measure of the pressure with reference to the atmospheric pressure (1.013 bar or 14.7 psi) and it is not with reference... Continue Reading →
The schematic diagram of a typical pneumatic system is given in the accompanying figure. Basically the system is composed of a power source, control valves, and work elements. The power source can broadly be classified into: compressed air generation, primary air treatment, storage, air distribution, and secondary air treatment. A compressor is a device for...

What is the Most Economical Pressure in Pneumatics? Pneumatic systems have been developed and progressed comparatively as a low-pressure system. Pneumatic air consuming devices such as cylinders and rotary actuators are designed for the maximum operating pressure of 8 to 10 bar [115 to 145 psi]. However, practical experience has shown that 6 bar [90... Continue Reading →
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a modern device that can be used to control the work process in a machine or an appliance. The operations involved in the work process are carried out by some kind of actuators such as electric motors, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, etc., which are in turn controlled by final...

Most of the practical pneumatic systems involve the use of multiple actuators (cylinders, semi-rotary actuators, etc) which when operating in specified sequences carry out the desired control tasks. Double-pilot directional control (DC) valves are used as final control elements to control the forward and return strokes of the actuators. Sensors are used for confirming the... Continue Reading →
