If compressed air is supplied,


air hits the piston surface
and the piston rod moves
out. When air is released,
the return spring moves the
piston to its initial position.
Single acting cylinders do
work in one way, therefore
they are ideal for tensioning,
ejecting, compressing etc.

Double Acting Cylinders with Air Cushioning

When the piston approaches its final position, the damping piston
shuts off the direct air-outlet. Excess pressure sets up an air-
cushion in the remaining cylinder volume and kinetic energy is
converted into pressure. At this stage, air may only leave the
cylinder through a controlled cross section of stream discharge.

When the plunger is actuated, the
sealing disc shuts off flow of air from
P to A. The second sealing disc is
pushed off its seat by the shoulders
of the push rod. A exhaust to R.
Used for control of single acting
cylinders.
3/2 - way Directional Control Valve,

The spring loaded ball shuts off the


flow of compressed air from P to A.
Working line A is connected to the
atmosphere through port R in the
pusher rod.
When the plunger is actuated, the
ball first shuts off the exhaust port
and then it is lifted off of its seat.
In the reverse direction the ball first
shuts off the pressure line P before
the exhaust port in the pusher rod is
opened to allow ventilation from A
to R.
3/2 - way Directional Control Valve,
Single Pilot Operation

Compressed air being supplied


through port P and the return spring
holds the valve disc in sealing
position.
The control air flows into the valve
at inlet Z and applies pressure to
the diaphragm.
The surface of the control piston
must be large enough to lift the
valve disc from its sealing position
when the same pressure is supplied
through ports P and Z.

Check Valve

Check valves permit flow of


air in one direction only and
shut off the opposite direction.
Shuttle Valve

The shuttle valve permits


compressed air to flow from either
of the two connections (X or Y) to
A. The ball in the valve always
shuts off the opposite connection.
Suitable for actuation or control of
pneumatic devices from two
positions.
Two Pressure Valve

Two - pressure valves have


two pressure inlet ports X and
Y.
To obtain an output signal at
A, compressed air must flow
through both inlet ports.
Flow Control Check Valve

In one way flow control check


valves, compressed air can only
flow in one direction through a port
which can be set by a screw. The
adjustable port permits flow of
control air from left to right through
to the nominal width of the valve.
In the opposite direction, the
diaphragm lifts off its seat and
admits free access to compressed
air.

Pressure Sequence Valve

These valves are used for pressure


induced transmission of a signal from
P to A.
Unless compressed air hits the
diaphragm, the flow of compressed
air from P is shut off by a ball valve
and air can flow from A to R.
The pressure required at Z to make
the piston move the valve body and
shut off R depends on the initial
tension in the diaphragm return
spring. As the piston moves forward,
the push rod lifts the ball and admits
flow of air from P to A.

Time-delay Valve, Closed Normal Position

Control air flows from Z through


the adjustable throttle into the
reservoir. The pressure builds up
in here and acts on the
actuating piston. When the
pressure in the reservoir has
reached the required value, the
valve piston blocks the flow
between A and R, and the
channel from P to A is opened.

SOLENOID VALVES

SOLENOID VALVES CONSIST OF:


a pneumatic valve
a solenoid to switch the element

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
an electric current applied to the solenoid
generates an EMF which moves an armature
connected to the valve stem
2/2 - way Directional Control Valve,

PILOT VALVE

Consists of a pneumatic
valve as the signal output
medium and an electrical
switching part, called a
solenoid. An electric current
applied to the solenoid
generates an
electromagnetic force
(EMF) which moves an
armature connected to the
valve stem.
PILOT SIGNAL FLOW

By using pilot control, the size of the solenoid ELECTRICAL SIGNAL


Can be kept to a minimum. APPLIED TO SOLENOID

Main Advantages :

PILOT ACTUATES
MAIN VALVE
3/2 - way Directional Control Valve,
Solenoid Actuated, Spring Returned

When an electric current is


applied to the coil, an EMF is
generated which lifts the lower
sealing lips of the armature and
opens the passage for pilot air.
Pilot air then applies pressure
on the diaphragm which then
causes the valve to switch its
position.
Upon removal of the current, the
pilot air passage closes and a
spring returns the valve to its
normal switching position.
5/2 - way Directional Control Valve,
Solenoid Actuated, Spring Returned

When the solenoid is


energized, the armature moves
and the pilot air passage
opens. The pilot air applies
pressure to the left side of the
valve piston resulting to the
valve switching its position.
Upon removal of the electrical
signal, a spring returns the
valve to its neutral switching
position.
Used for the control of double
acting cylinders.

5/2 - way Directional Control Valve,
Double Solenoid Actuated

Because of the
absence of a return
spring, double solenoid
actuated valves retain
the last signal
administered to them.
They remain in their
last switched position
even with power
removed from both
solenoids.
Effectively, this means
that this valve has
“memory
characteristic”.
Relays

Relays are electro-magnetically actuated switches.


They consist of a housing with electromagnet and
movable contacts. An electromagnetic field is created
when a voltage is applied to the coil of the
electromagnet. This results in attraction of the movable
armature to the coil core. The armature actuates the
contact [Link] contact assembly can open or
close a specific number of contacts by mechanical
means. If the flow of current through the coil is
interrupted, a spring returns the armature to its original
position.

Basic logic functions

Logic operations are funcions which link binary signals according to the rules of Boolean algebra. Four basic logic operations are
available for this purpose.

Identity Input and output signal have the same status.

Negation (NOT) The output signal has the opposite value to the input signal.

Conjunction (AND) The output signal only has the value 1, if all the input signals have the value 1

Disjunction (OR) The output signal has the value 1, if at least one of the input signals has the value 1.

What are sensors?
A sensor is a technical converter, which converts a
physical value such as temperature, pressure, flow, or
distance, into a different value which is easier to
evaluate. This is usually an electrical signal such as
voltage, current, resistance or frequency of oscillation.
Types of output from Sensors

Sensors can be divided, according to the type of output


signal they produce. Basically sensors can produce two
types of output signals. These are

 Binary signal

 Analogue signal
Signals

Signals represent information.


Binary Signal

– A signal with a single


parameter where the
parameter can be
situated in only two
ranges. The signal 1
contains two items of
information, such as
YES-NO or ON-OFF.
0
time
Binary sensors

Binary sensors generate just two different output


signals, i.e. the switching states “ON” and “OFF”.
Analog Signal

– A signal where each


point in a continuous
range of values of the
signal parameter
conveys different
information.

When a pneumatic signal of sufficient pressure to overcome the


spring force is applied to the diaphragm, the resultant force operates
the stem. The force required to operate the stem is controlled by the
adjusting screw. Movement of the stem actuates a micro switch via a
switching lever which results to switching of contacts.

Sequence Control System

This is a control system using a mandatory step by step sequence,


in which the sequencing from one step to the next programmed
step depends on certain conditions being satisfied.
SUGGESTED PATTERN IN DESIGNING SEQUENCE CONTROL USING RELAYS

1. The CONTROL CIRCUIT is the part of the relay ladder, which processes
input signals.

2. The POWER CIRCUIT is the part of the relay ladder, which directly
controls the electrical loads. (ie., solenoid coils, motors, lamps, buzzers)

3. In the control circuit, each working step is assigned its own STEP RELAY.

4. Each step relay, except the last step relay, employs a self holding contact.

5. A NO contact of the step relay N is placed in series with the first step relay.

6. A NC contact of the last step relay is placed in series with the first step relay.
