Cylinder

Objectives

At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• select the components to construct and control the double 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. • Double Acting Cylinder - 1 No.
• Digital multimeter with probes - 1 No. • 5/2 DC single solenoid valve - 1 No.
• Regulated DC power • Push button switch - 1 No.
supply 24V/2A - 1 No. • Relay - as reqd.
• Pneumatic Source - 1 No. • PU Tube - as reqd.
• FRL - 1 No. • Connecting Cables

Procedure

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

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

A Pneumatic Connection
1 Ensure that you connect 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 exceed the maximum pressure capacity to prevent equipment failure and accidents.

3 Connect the output of the FRL to the input of the manifold. This manifold distributes the compressed air to
various components in your pneumatic system.
