1. Hydraulic oil is stored in the reservoir. The oil passes through filter by removing
impurities from oil towards pump. 02 marks
2. PUMP main function is to create the flow of oil under pressure through entire -working
hydraulic system and hence to assist transfer of power and motion (i.e. useful
work). Pump drives by prime mover. (i.e. Motor).

valve. But air does not go to SA cylinder because the air supply is connected to R port. -working
Hence SA cylinder is not actuating.
Now to actuate the SA cylinder, We have to push the button of 3/2DC valve .When button
is pushed, the air will be admitted in SA cylinder, through port A and compressed air will
expand inside the cylinder. This will result in pushing of piston of SA cylinder from left
to right. When air supply will stop, then spring will expand (as shown In Fig.)the piston
will regain its original position. During this movement air will be exhausted through DC
valve.

available. 01 marks
Air is dry and hence any pneumatic system is clean. Due to this property, for each
pneumatic circuits are most widely used in the food industry automation and
electronic Industry automation.
2. Air cannot be exploded. (in hydraulic systems, if the temperature of system goes
beyond the flash point of hydraulic oil then there is possibility of fire).Hence
pneumatic circuits can be easily used in fire prone area.

figure. With a meter-in circuit, fluid enters into the actuator at a controlled rate.
Pneumatic circuit diagram for meter-in flow-control circuit is as shown in figure.
In these circuits, the rate of flow of compressed air into the cylinder is controlled
by flow control valve. FCV is placed at inlet of the cylinder. Cap end port “C” is
inlet for extension and rod end port “R” is inlet for retraction.
Working:
In first position of 4/2 DCV, compressed air flows from P to A and B to T. this
flow is through flow control valve, the flow is controlled and hence piston
extends slowly.
In second position 4/2 DCV, compressed air flows P to B and A to T. this flow is
through check valve. This is free flow.
Hence the piston retracts at higher speed, which is not controlled.

opened, some portion of the pump outlet will be bled off and the cylinder starts to
slow down. Adjusting the size of the opening will bleed off any amount
necessary to control the speed of piston. Unlike the meter-in and meter-out
circuit there is no excess flow going over the relief valve. The excess oil bleed-
off circuits are more efficient in energy saving and work in a cooler environment.
However, bleed off circuit provides less accuracy is speed control, because they
don‟t compensate for any change in fluid losses due to pressure change. Here the
measured flow goes to the tank rather than the cylinder. This makes the cylinder
speed subject to change with the pump delivery and hydraulic system leakage
which occur as work load pressure changes. To minimize these effects, it is
recommended to bleed-off no more than half the pump delivery and avoid using
a bleed-off circuit completely where there is a wide fluctuation is the load
pressure. In general, bleed-off speed control is best employed when the majority
of the pump outlet is utilized by the cylinder and only a small percentage is by
past. Also it is employed in systems where the pressure is reasonably constant 02 marks
and precise speed control is not the criteria. –diagram

In the static condition, the hydraulic forces hold the compensator spool in balance, but the bias
spring forces it to the far right, thus holding the compensator orifice fully open. In the flow
condition, any pressure drop less than the bias spring force does not affect the fully open
compensator orifice, but any pressure drop greater than the bias spring force reduces the 02 marks
compensator orifice. Any change in pressure on either side of the control orifice, without a for
corresponding pressure change on the opposite side of the control orifice, moves the working
compensator spool. Thus, a fixed differential across the control orifice is maintained at all
times. It blocks all flow in excess of the throttle setting. As a result, flow exceeding the preset
amount can be used by other parts of the circuit or return to the tank via a pressure-relief valve.
Performance of flow-control valve is also affected by temperature changes which changes the
viscosity of the fluid. Therefore, often flow-control valveshave temperature compensation.
Graphical symbol for pressure and temperaturecompensated flow-control valve is shown in

Bi-directional air motor rotates in clockwise as well as anti-clockwise direction. The working
speed of bi-directional motor is controlled as shown in fig. The speed control of motor
by using variable two flow control valves having built-in check valve and 4x3 DC
valve having zero position or central hold position with Lever L1 and L2.
(Pilot/Pushbutton / Solenoid may be used).
When Lever L1 is operated, port P will be connected to port A of air motor and
motor will start rotating in clockwise direction. Its speed can be controlled by using
variable flow control valve F1. Port B of motor will be connected to exhaust R and
air in motor will be exhausted through port R via DC valve.
When Lever L2 is operated, pressure port P will be connected to port B of motor
and naturally motor will start rotating in anticlockwise direction. Port A will be
connected to port R and air in the motor will be exhausted through port R via DC
valve.
