Instructions for Practical Exercises

INSTRUCTION for practical exercise 1

Single-acting cylinder controlled by 3/2-way valve

1.

SOLUTION

1.

2. In its starting position the 3/2-way valve stops the compressed air feed, the cylinder
remains in its moved-in position. By pushing the button the valve is switched over, the
compressed air flows through the valve and effects the advance stroke (working
stroke). The cylinder remains in this moved-out position as long as the button is
pushed. With releasing the button the valve stops the feed of compressed air and the
piston returns in its initial position by the spring force (no working stroke).

INSTRUCTION for practical exercise 5

Single-acting cylinder controlled from two separated switching points (OR)

1.

SOLUTION

1.

2. The shuttle valve connects two locally separated switching points (3/2-way valves).
Thus, the cylinder can be controlled from each of the two switching points. In case one
of the two valves is switched over by pushing the button, compressed air flows to the
cylinder via shuttle valve. The shuttle valve closes the pipeline which is out of
operation, thus the system cannot be vented via the second, closed valve.

SOLUTION

2. In the starting position of the 5/2-way valve, compressed air flows to the cylinder via the
working connection B, the piston remains in its starting position. By pushing the button
the valve is switched over, compressed air flows through the connection A and effects
the advance stroke (A= working stroke). Connection B is vented. The piston remains in
this position as long as the button is pushed. When the button is released, the valve is
switched back. Compressed air flows into cylinder via connection B and effects the
return stroke (working stroke). Connection A is vented.

2. The 3/2-way valve 1.3 actuated as soon as the piston of the cylinder 1.0 has been
completely moved out and the packet has reached the loading rack. The piston thus
returns to its starting position.

3. The double-acting cylinder is necessary as a load (pressure of the following packets)

has to be borne during both the advance and return stroke. The double-acting cylinder
requires a 5/2-way valve for its control.

3. The 5/2-way valve 1.1 is actuated by the 3/2-way valve 1.2 the piston is moving out.
The return stroke is pressure dependant. If the piston is held up during the forward
stroke or at its final position the pressure on the piston side builds up and the pressure
sequence valve 1.3 is actuated. The 5/2-way valve 1.1 is switched to its initial position.

Double-acting cylinder with pneumatically actuated 5/2-way valve and time delayed return
stroke

1.

SOLUTION

1.

2. After normally executed advance stroke of the double-acting cylinder compressed air
flows slowly via a time delay valve (consisting of a throttle relief valve with reservoir
and 3/2-way valve), which effects the delay. The duration of the delay can be adjusted
at the throttle. The 3/2-way valve is switched over when sufficient pressure has been
reached.
The 5/2-way valve is switched into its starting position by the out-going impulse. The
piston then returns to its starting position with a normal stroke.

55

PNEUMATIC

INSTRUCTION for practical exercise 17

Coke silo is normally closed. Discharge chute is opened by push-button and remains open
20 second

1.

SOLUTION

1.

2. The piston, in the starting position, is moved out and blocks the discharging chute.
On pushing the button (1.2) the 5/2-way valve (1.1) is switched over, the piston moves
in and opens the discharge chute. The coke is now thrown on to the wagon and the
moved-in piston switches over the valve (1.3). This gives an impulse to the time delay
valve (1.5). The time delay valve responds with a delay of approx. 20 sec., the control
unit (1.1) is switched, the piston moves out and the discharging chute is closed again.

give impulses to the regulating unit 1.1; the piston is continuously moved in and moved
out. The control sequences are finished when the compressed air is stopped.
