The Problem:a double – acting cylinder is extend when a push button is operated
upon. Release of the push botton the cylinder is to retract .the cylinder is of small
bore (25 mm diameter) requiring a small flow rate to operate at the correct
speed.

Solution:

The control valve used for the double – acting cylinder is the 5/2 way
valve since the small bore of the cylinder this operation can be directly controlled
by push button 5/2 way direction valve with a double acting cylinder I also add a
throttle valve so we can controlled the force speed acting on the cylinder

Part List:

 Double acting cylinder

 5/2 way valve
 Air service unit
 Air compressed supply
 Throttle valve
Displacement step Diagram

In this case there is one cylinder 1A

1. In step 1 cylinder 1A extends

2. In step 3 cylinder 1A retracts

3. Step number 5 is equivalent to step 1.

Circuit Diagram
Describe the operation of the circuit
On operating the push button the air passes through the valve from port 1 to 2 via
the valve into the throttle valve so we can control the flow rate of the air and the
to 1s so as soon we press the the button the air pass throw 1 to line 4 to operate
the proses and extend the piston and the air get out throw the line 2 which it the
exhaust on port 5 On release of the button, the valve spring returns the 5/2-way
valve to its initial position and the cylinder retracts. The air returns from the
cylinder in line 4 to the exhaust port 5.

Result
Since we used a oush button wish if we releses applying it the piston will return to
the initial condition so when we press the button the piston will move to until we
reless pressing “it will move for a small distance then it will be back again

Conclusion
In this experiment we learn how the double acting cylinder work and how also the
5/2 line direct the air flow to the lines
