Three Axis Pneumatic Trailer
Three Axis Pneumatic Trailer
1. INTRODUCTION:
Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, hydraulics, robotics, etc., of these
sources, hydraulics form an attractive medium. Automation plays an important role in
automobile. Nowadays almost all the automobile vehicle is being atomized in order to product the
human being. The automobile vehicle is being atomized for the following reasons:
As air is compressible in nature, it can not be pressurized to large amount of pressure. Since the
pressure of compressed air is less (about 10 bar), force developed is also less.
Pneumatic system are faster in operation because, air is very less viscosity. it can flow very
quickly. Air rushes into the cylinder once the valve is opened and within no time, the cylinder
extends.
As most of the pneumatic devices are air based, they have a less complicated design and
can be made of inexpensive material.
Mass production techniques can be adopted to produce pneumatic systems, which not
only save money but save time too
Initial cost is less; hydraulics equipment cost as much as twice the price of pneumatic
equipments.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
In this project we are using single cylinder instead of three as per used in current
dumping trolley. In this we are mounting a pneumatic cylinder on rotating plate which will
rotate along with axis.
The project mechanism has mainly concentrated on the difficulty of loading and hence a
suitable arrangement has been designed. Such that the load can be unloaded from the trolley in
three axis without application of any impact force. By pressing the direction control valve
activated. The compressed air is goes to the pneumatic cylinder through valve. The ram of the
pneumatic cylinder acts as a lifting the trolley cabin. The automobile engine drive is coupled to
the compressor engine. So that it stores the compressed air when the vehicle running. This
compressed air is used to active the pneumatic cylinder. When the valve is activated.
Pneumatic three axis trolley is nothing but one of the lifting system in automobile at the
time of emergency. in this lifting system pneumatically operated one. Here the additional
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
[1] S. N. Waghmare et al stated that during the study of the conventional system the dumpers that
are used are not that much active and there lacking of the new inventions and the technology. The
study in taken into consideration of several automobile workshops, it shows the fact that most of
the difficult method was been adopted in the areas of the unloading of the material. This paper has
mainly concentrated on above difficulty. Hence a prototype of such suitable arrangement has
designed. The vehicle can be unloaded from the entire three direction of the mechanism can be
control with the help of providing sideways to the mechanism.. This mechanism will prevent road
blocking.
[2] Prof. R.S. Ambade et al stated that This project work titled “UNIVERSAL MODERN
TRAILER” has been found again difficulties in unloading of the material. Revealed the facts so
mostly some difficult types of methods were adopted in unloading the materials from the trailer.
The trailer will unload the material in only one single way axes. It is difficult to unload the
materials in small compact area or site and small roads. In our project these are overcome to unload
the trailer in all of the sides very easily. Conventional dumper vehicle unload materials only in
single direction that to only at the rear side of the tipper by using various powerful pneumatically
cylinders, which may cause the problems of blockage when the work area is limited.
[3] The Multidirectional dumper is the solution of this problem. Unloading the material by using
mechanical arrangement one side. By using gear and linkage attachment material can be unloaded
in 180degree requirement. The all directional dumper is developed and tested for its movement in
all 180 possible angles to unload the materials in the tipper trolley and monitor the inclinations for
its gradualism (linearity).Now a day’s hydraulic and pneumatic system is generally use in trolley
for unloading purpose but our aim is to check performance of mechanical system.
[4] Mr. Abhimanyu D. Deshmukh et al stated that The earlier techniques followed the difficulties in
removing sand and assets. there are many survey in the regards in automobile garages, revealed the
These cylinders produce work in one direction of motion hence they are named as single acting
cylinders. Figure 6.4.1 shows the construction of a single acting cylinder. The compressed air
pushes the piston located in the cylindrical barrel causing the desired motion. The return stroke
takes place by the action of a spring. Generally the spring is provided on the rod side of the
cylinder.
A single-acting pneumatic cylinder is a type of pneumatic actuator that uses compressed air to
create linear motion in one direction. Unlike double-acting cylinders, which use air pressure to
move the piston in both directions, single-acting cylinders rely on a spring or other external
force to return the piston to its original position.
Key Features:
One Directional Movement: Single-acting cylinders provide force and motion in one direction
only, typically extending the piston rod when air pressure is applied and retracting it when the
pressure is released.
Spring Return: The piston is usually equipped with a spring that returns it to the starting
position when the air pressure is released. This spring provides the force needed for the piston
to retract.
Simple Design: Single-acting cylinders have a simpler design compared to double-acting
cylinders, as they do not require seals or mechanisms for controlling movement in both
directions.
Cost-Effective: Due to their simpler design, single-acting cylinders are often more cost-
effective than double-acting cylinders, making them suitable for applications where cost is a
factor.
Applications:
Single-acting cylinders are commonly used in applications where a return stroke is not
required, such as clamping, lifting, and pushing applications.
Advantages:
Cost-Effective: Single-acting cylinders are typically less expensive than double-acting
cylinders.
Simple Design:
The simple design of single-acting cylinders makes them easy to install and maintain.
Energy Efficiency: Single-acting cylinders require air pressure only for the extension
stroke, making them more energy-efficient in certain applications.
Reliability: Single-acting cylinders are known for their reliability and long service life.
Disadvantages:
Limited Motion: Single-acting cylinders can only provide linear motion in one direction,
limiting their use in applications requiring bi-directional movement.
Spring Fatigue: The spring in a single-acting cylinder may wear out over time, requiring
replacement.
Less Control: Single-acting cylinders offer less control over the speed and force of the
Piston compressors are commonly used in pneumatic systems. The simplest form is single
cylinder compressor. It produces one pulse of air per piston stroke. As the piston moves down
during the inlet stroke the inlet valve opens and air is drawn into the cylinder. As the piston
moves up the inlet valve closes and the exhaust valve opens which allows the air to be expelled.
The valves are spring loaded. The single cylinder compressor gives significant amount of
pressure pulses at the outlet port. The pressure developed is about 3-40 bar.
A flow control valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow rate of a fluid in a hydraulic or
pneumatic system. It is designed to control the speed and direction of a fluid as it moves
through the system, allowing for precise control over the movement of actuators, cylinders, and
other components. Flow control valves come in various types and configurations, each suited
for different applications and operating conditions.
Key Features:
Types: Flow control valves can be categorized into different types based on their design and
operation, including needle valves, throttle valves, and spool valves, among others.
Applications:
Hydraulic Systems: Flow control valves are commonly used in hydraulic systems to control
the speed of hydraulic actuators, such as cylinders and motors.
Pneumatic Systems: In pneumatic systems, flow control valves are used to regulate the speed
of pneumatic actuators, such as cylinders and air motors.
Process Control: Flow control valves are also used in various process control applications,
such as in chemical processing, water treatment, and oil refining, to regulate the flow of fluids
in pipes and pipelines.
Advantages:
Precise Control: Flow control valves provide precise control over the flow rate of a fluid,
allowing for accurate control of the speed and direction of actuators.
Energy Efficiency: By controlling the flow rate, flow control valves can help optimize the
energy efficiency of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
System Protection: Flow control valves can help protect hydraulic and pneumatic systems
from damage due to excessive flow rates or pressure.
Disadvantages:
Complexity: Flow control valves can add complexity to hydraulic and pneumatic systems,
requiring careful design and installation.
Maintenance: Like any mechanical component, flow control valves require regular

GEAR
A 3D printed yellow-colored gear pair refers to a set of gears that have been manufactured using
3D printing technology and are colored yellow. Gears are mechanical devices with toothed
wheels that mesh with each other to transmit torque and motion. 3D printing, also known as
additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by adding material
layer by layer based on a digital model.
Fig. Gear
A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth , or cogs, which mesh with another toothed
part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power
source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage,
through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered
a simple machine. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape. Two or more
meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission. A gear can
mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, producing translation instead of rotation.

6.1. EXPERIMENTATION
Working of a modern three axis pneumatic trolley is based on the action of pneumatic cylinder
and rotation of gear. The automobile gear drive is coupled to the compressor so that it store the
compressed air when the vehicle is running. This compressed air is used to activate the pneumatic
cylinder, when the valve is activated. The ram of the pneumatic cylinder act as a lifting the trolley
cabin.
When the dc motor which is connected to the spur gear is operated using a battery , the
gear rotates and thus the rotating disc also rotates. Since the load cabin is directly connected to
the rotating disc , it also rotates.
When the load cabin reaches at the place where the load has to be dumped.
During the forward stroke of cylinder, it pushes truck body upward thus giving necessary
lift for dumping.
So, in the forward stroke of the cylinder the truck is unloaded. In the return stroke of the cylinder
the body of the truck comes to its original position.
Introduction of single hydraulic cylinder instead of pneumatic etc can make the system a little more
efficient.
Another change that can be made is to introduce some rollers in between the load
cabin and body of the vehicle. This setup will make the rotation of the load cabin easier and
thus the rotating dick will no longer have to experience the complete load.

achieve low cost automation. The operating procedure of this system is very simple so, person
can operate. By using more techniques, they can be modified and developed according to the
applications. Further modifications and working limitation will put this work in the main league
