Pneumatic Actuation and Circuit Design Guide

This document discusses pneumatic circuits and components used in pick-and-place automation applications. It describes various pneumatic actuators like single-acting and double-acting cylinders. It also discusses different types of pneumatic valves like 2/2 push buttons and 5/2 valves. Accessories for pneumatic circuits like check valves, flow control valves, AND gates and timers are also mentioned. Formulas for calculating force applied by pneumatic cylinders at different pressures are provided. The document aims to explain the working and design of basic pneumatic circuits.

What is relation of Pressure, Force and Area with each other?

Pressure
Force Area Force = Pressure X Area

So tell me, now what will happen

Force on Head side = /4xDxP

Thus, once supply is started force on head side is always greater than rod side

Is this ok?
Therefore

& that on Rod side = /4x(D-d)xP

To operate this valve Or need 2 air pilot we 2 solenoids connections as shown as


Valve required for this application is:

4. Electrical Solenoid

A valve is mono-stable if it has Spring-Return,

otherwise it is a bi-stable (memory valve).

Exception - Detent
