Pneumatics DefinitionsPneumatics Definitions
Pneumatics is the general term used to describe the mechanics of gases
Pneumatics, derived from the Greek word pneumatikos, meaning coming from the windIt is the branch of science which treats the mechanical properties of air and other elastic fluids used to do work

Force Principles
Gauge Pressure works against each square inch of piston surface
The greater the square inch surface of the fluid, the less internal pressure will be developed.

ActuatorsActuatorsDifferential AreasDifferential Areas
Force Consideration• Consider the effective area on which the pressure acts• On single ended cylinders there is a differential• Don’t forget friction
![Page 34: Workshop #4 Stennis Space Center January 7,2006 Introduction to Pneumatics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e615503460f94b5c11f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
CylindersForce = Pressure Area
2” diameter pistonArea = 3.14 12 = 3.14 in2
Pressure = 60 psi3.14 in2 60 psi = 188 lbsForce while extending greater than while retracting
Main decisions: Length and diameterDiameter based on required forceLarger diameter: more force, but more air

Cylinder maximum force
¾” Dia Cylinder½” - 10” Throw 26 lb max force
1-1/2” Dia Cylinder½”-24” Throw 106 lb max force
2” Dia Cylinder½”-24” Throw 188 lb max force

Cylinder ForcesForce Applied = Pressure * Cross Sectional Area
Pressure applied on a flat plate, causes a force! The bigger the plate, or the higher the pressure, the greater the force.
Less force “in” than “out”.This is due to a reduced cross section (caused by the rod being in the way!)
![Page 37: Workshop #4 Stennis Space Center January 7,2006 Introduction to Pneumatics.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e615503460f94b5c11f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Retracted Length = 4.38 + Stroke + .25 + 1.31 = 5.94 + Stroke

Extended Length = 5.94 + (2 x Stroke Length)

Single Solenoid Valve
When energized, cylinder goes to one stateWhen de-energized, cylinder always returns to rest state
When power is cut at the end of the match, cylinder will return to rest state
Each valve powered by one relay module (only in forward)

Double Solenoid Valves
One solenoid pulsed to move cylinder one way, other solenoid pulsed to move cylinder the other wayResults unpredictable if both pulsed Valve will stay in either state when neither solenoid energizedCan use one relay for each solenoid or one relay and two diodes

Why do we design with pneumatics?Simple… Pneumatic Cylinders are force vectors.Each cylinder represents a force, which will be applied over a certain distance.Most pneumatic design involves arms or linkages of some type.Know principles of leverage and torque!

Safety Safety always be considered
Relieve the pressure before working on the systemBe aware of pinch pointsAvoid side-loading – increases friction and wearAvoid getting grit or metal shavings on the rod or in
the cylinderUse flow controls for safety
Compressed Air is like a coiled spring
Safety MUST
