Chapter 9 Designing Pneumatic Systems
Pneumatic Compressed Air Hydraulic Liquid forces Fluid Systems Both gases and liquids are fluids
Terms • Fluid - Has the ability to flow and take the shape of its container • Liquid – fluid in which its volume does not change • Gas – fluid that can expand or be compressed to fill its container
Hydr. Vs. Pneu. • Hydraulics • Allows precise linear movement • Uses return lines • Recycles fluid • Pneumatics • Cleaner • No return lines
Pneumatic Components • Compressor • Lines • Cylinder – Single Acting – Double Acting • Valves – 3 & 5 port – Shuttle - Solenoid • Regulators – Flow and pressure
