Piston
Known as Air Cylinder Stores potential energy (compressed air) Converts into kinetic energy as air expands to
reach atmospheric pressure Engineers prefer pneumatics since it’s cheaper,
quieter, cleaner, and takes less space.

Air Compressor
Using pistons and valves stores compressed air
Oil and oil-less models

Tubing•Available in Difference sizes, and lengths•Used to transport compressed air from the Compressor•1/4” and 3/8” Nylon Tubing is idea for EDD

Regulator Valve
•Controls the pressure of air•Measured in PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) – unit of pressure•30-60 PSI for EDD•Can be controlled from compressor or can be added to pneumatic air lines

Solenoid
•Electromechanical Switch•Control air flow•Open or Closed•Uses coil and slug to control air
