EXERCISE 189: Construct and control a Single Acting

Cylinder

Objectives

At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• select the components to construct and control a single acting cylinder
• construct the circuit on trainer board as per the diagram
• check the function of the circuit.

Requirements

Tools/Materials
• Pneumatic trainer board - 1 No. • Single Acting Cylinder - 1 No.
• Digital multimeter with probes - 1 No. • 3/2 DC single solenoid valve - 1 No.
• Regulated DC power • FRL - 1 No.
supply 24V/2A - 1 No. • Push button switch - 1 No.
• Pneumatic Source - 1 No. • Relay - 1 No.
• PU Tube - as reqd. • Connecting Cables - as reqd.

Procedure

TASK 1: Select the components to construct and control the single acting cylinder
1 Identify the components using ISO 1219 symbol
2 Check the DC supply by using the multi meter.

TASK 2a & 2b : Construct the circuit and control the single acting cylinder

A Pneumatic Connection
1 Ensure that you connected the compressed air outlet from the compressor to the input of the FRL unit.

This step is crucial for filtering, regulating, and lubricating the compressed air before it enters the
pneumatic system

2 Adjust the regulator on the FRL to set the desired pressure, in this case, 6 bar.

Instructor should set the pressure limits on the compressor and FRL within the recommended range.
Avoid to exceeding the maximum pressure capacity to prevent equipment failure and accidents.
