  1. Michael Lin and Eric Yeh presents… Pneumatics

  2. Pneumatics - Definition • Pneumatics is the use of pressurized air to achieve mechanical movement V.S. Pneumatics Hydraulics

  3. Overview of Pneumatics

  4. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  5. Compressor • Source of energy in pneumatic system • Can Generate up to 120 PSI • Compacts air

  6. Diaphragm pump

  7. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  8. Regulator • Maintains a constant level of pressure. • Working air pressure • Maximum of 60 psi for FIRST competitions

  9. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  10. Actuators • Actuators convert the difference in air pressure to mechanical motion • Takes the working air and makes it into mechanical motion • Linear actuators (also known as cylinders) • Narrower actuators move more quickly

  11. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  12. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  13. Solenoid Valves • Controlled by the robot’s CPU • Solenoids opens a port to pressure when a voltage is applied • Double solenoids controls two ports • When one port is open, the other is closed Festo single solenoid valve Festo double solenoid valve

  14. From FIRST pneumatics manual

  15. Tank • Tanks are a reserve of compressed air • Maximum of 120 psi for First competitions

  16. Common Valves and Fittings • Flow-rate valve • Pressure switch, Release valve, Plug valve,

  17. Finding Linear Force 18

  18. Forces of Different Bore Cylinders at 40 psi and 60 psi From FIRST pneumatics manual
