Module Contents Topic Page No. 1 Introduction 3 2 Applications of Pneumatics 4 3 Advantages and disadvantages 6 4 Signal flow in Pneumatics 7 5 Pascal s law 9 6 Supplementary resources 10 7 References 10 8 Worksheet 12

3 1 Introduction 1.1 What Does the word Pneumatics Mean? The word Pneumatics comes from the Greek word pneuma, which means 'breath or wind'. It is basically the use of under pressure gas that helps in performing a certain work in science and technology. 1.2 Definition of pneumatics Pneumatics is the transmission and control of forces and movements by means of compressed air. (The use of compressed air as a medium to do work). 1.3 What is the fluid power? Fluid power is the energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulics use liquids (oil or water) under pressure while pneumatics use compressed air or other neutral gases. Pneumatics technology has for some considerable time been used in carrying out the simplest mechanical tasks, but nowadays has played a vital and important role in automation and development of sophisticated technologies.

4 2 Applications (Uses) of Pneumatics: 2.1 Some of the pneumatic applications in our life: A Pneumatic device is used to dismantle an automobile tire A pneumatic device is used in an automobile painting A heavy duty pneumatic jackhammer A pneumatic filling machine A dental drill is one of the uses of the pneumatic technology

5 A pneumatic device is used to fill the tire with compressed air to adjust the tire pressure. 2.2 Other applications of pneumatics: industrial applications Pneumatic systems are used in many industrial applications such as: Material handling Clamping Shifting Positioning Branching of material flow Packaging Filling Transfer of materials Sorting of parts Stamping and embossing of components Industrial processes Pneumatic systems are used in carrying out machining and some industrial processes such as: Drilling Turning Milling Sawing Finishing Forming

6 3 Advantages and disadvantages of pneumatics: 3.1 Advantages: 1- Air is available everywhere in unlimited quantities. 2- Air can be easily transported in pipelines, even over large distances. 3- Compressed air can easily be stored in a reservoir/tank. 4- Compressed air is relatively insensitive to temperature fluctuations. 5- Exhaust air is clean. 6- The running cost is relatively inexpensive. 7- Compressed air is a very fast working medium. 8- Overload safe. 3.2 Disadvantages: 1- Compressed air requires good preparation. Dirt and condensates should be removed. 2- Variable speeds. As air is compressible; it is difficult to achieve uniform and constant piston speed. 3- Low Forces compared to Hydraulics. 4- Noisy operation. This problem has now, however been largely solved due to the development of sound absorption material and silencers.

7 4 Structure and signal flow of pneumatic systems Pneumatic systems consist of an interconnection of different groups of elements. These groups of elements form a control path for signal flow, starting from the signal section (input) through to the actuating section (output). Control elements control the actuating elements in accordance with the signals received from the processing elements. 4.1 Primary levels of the pneumatic system: Fig. 1.1: Pneumatic signal flow and the corresponding control elements

8 4.2 Practical example on pneumatic elements signal flow 0Z Fig. 1.2 : Example of pneumatic control elements shown in a practical circuit

9 5. Pascal s Law As explained earlier in the Basic Hydraulics course Pascal s law states that: The pressure in a confined fluid is transmitted equally to the whole surface of its container Accordingly, the pressure at any point in a body of fluid is the same in any direction as shown in Fig Mathematical formula P F A Where: P is the pressure in Pascal (Pa) F is the force in Newton (N) A is the cross sectional area in m 2 Fig. 1.3 Notes: 1 bar = Pa 1 Kg = 10 N 1 m 2 = cm Solved example Calculate the Extension force of the pneumatic cylinder shown in Fig. 1.4 If you are given the followings: Piston area (A) = 0.03 m 2 Pressure (P) = 6 bar Solution F = P A F = ( ) 0.03 = N = 1800 Kg Fig. 1.4

10 6. For further reading, you can use the following links: Supplementary recourses 1- Pneumatics video from Festo. 2- FluidSIM software. 8. References 1- Festo manuals and workbook TP Festo manuals and textbook TP101

11 Student s notes

12 List three applications of pneumatics Worksheet 1 State three advantages of pneumatics. List any two disadvantages of pneumatics. Write down the mathematical formula of Pascal s law If you need to lift a car of 1000 Kg (10000N) by a pneumatic cylinder of piston area equal 0.04 m2. What is the value of the pressure in this case? What is the approximate value of the pressure used in pneumatic systems?
