1. PNEUMATIC CYLINDER:
A) PISTON B) CYLINDER
The cylinder is a double acting cylinder one, which means that the air pressure
operates forward and backward. The air from the compressor is passed through the
regulator which controls the pressure to required amount by adjusting its knob.
A pressure gauge is attached to the regulator for showing the line pressure.
Then the compressed air is passed through the 5/2 solenoid valve for supplying the air to
the cylinder.
One hose take the output of the directional Control (Solenoid) valve and they are
attached to one end of the cylinder by means of connectors. One of the outputs from the
directional control valve is taken to the flow control valve from taken to the cylinder. The

Parts of Pneumatic Cylinder
Piston:
The piston is a cylindrical member of certain length which reciprocates inside the
cylinder. The diameter of the piston is slightly less than that of the cylinder bore diameter
and it is fitted to the top of the piston rod. It is one of the important parts which convert
The piston is equipped with a ring suitably proportioned and it is relatively soft
rubber which is capable of providing good sealing with low friction at the operating
pressure. The purpose of piston is to provide means of conveying the pressure of air
The piston is single acting spring returned type. The piston moves forward when
the high-pressure air is turned from the right side of cylinder. The piston moves backward
when the solenoid valve is in OFF condition. The piston should be as strong and rigid as
possible. The efficiency and economy of the machine primarily depends on the working
of the piston. It must operate in the cylinder with a minimum of friction and should be
able to withstand the high compressor force developed in the cylinder and also the shock
b. It should be frictionless.
Piston Rod
The piston rod is circular in cross section. It connects piston with piston of other
cylinder. The piston rod is made of mild steel ground and polished. A high finish is
essential on the outer rod surface to minimize wear on the rod seals. The piston rod is
connected to the piston by mechanical fastening. The piston and the piston rod can be
separated if necessary.
One end of the piston rod is connected to the bottom of the piston. The other end
of the piston rod is connected to the other piston rod by means of coupling. The piston
transmits the working force to the oil cylinder through the piston rod. The piston rod is
designed to withstand the high compressive force. It should avoid bending and withstand
shock loads caused by the cutting force. The piston moves inside the rod seal fixed in the
bottom cover plate of the cylinder. The sealing arrangements prevent the leakage of air
from the bottom of the cylinder while the rod reciprocates through it.
The cylinder should be enclosed to get the applied pressure from the compressor
and act on the pinion. The cylinder is thus closed by the cover plates on both the ends
such that there is no leakage of air. An inlet port is provided on the top cover plate and an
outlet ports on the bottom cover plate. There is also a hole drilled for the movement of
the piston.
The cylinder cover plate protects the cylinder from dust and other particle and
maintains the same pressure that is taken from the compressor. The flange has to hold the
piston in both of its extreme positions. The piston hits the top plat during the return
stroke and hits the bottom plate during end of forward stroke. So the cover plates must

Mount Materials:
In our pneumatic system there are two types of connectors used; one is the hose
connector and the other is the reducer. Hose connectors normally comprise an adapter
(connector) hose nipple and cap nut. These types of connectors are made up of brass or
Aluminium or hardened steel. Reducers are used to provide inter connection between two
pipes or hoses of different sizes. They may be fitted straight, tee, “V” or other
configurations. These reducers are made up of gunmetal or other materials like hardened
steel etc.

AIR COMPRESSOR
COMPRESSORS
The main function of the air compressor is to compress the air up to the required
pressure. The maximum capacity of the compressor is 10105 to 12 105 N/m2. This is a
two stages or two-cylinder reciprocating air compressor. The two cylinders are for low
and high compression. The air pressure is measured at various places by the use of
pressure gauges. V-belt and pulley are used to drive the compressor.
Dynamic Compressors
There are essential two forms of positive displacement compressor, reciprocating and
rotary
Dynamic compressors
These are rotary continuous machines in which a high speed rotating element
accelerates the air and converts the resulting velocity head into pressure.
employs rotating vanes or impellers to impart velocity and pressure to the flow of
the air being handled. The pressure comes from the dynamic effects such as
centrifugal force.
1. Pressure
First of all, the pressure needed must be determined. Most air operated system
and tools are designed to operate at a pressure from 6 105 to 7 105 N/m2. A
compressor of normal make and type would normally be suitable if this can assure
a pressure 6 105 N/m2 in the distribution line laid down for a pneumatic tools and
system.
2. Capacity
the unit selected should be large enough to supply all the air devices, which will be
operating at any given time. If all the air operation is continuous, the capacity

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Kinematics Pairs
The relative motion between two links of a pair can take different form. Three
types of a pairs are known as lower pairs and these are the frequently occurring
ones:Sliding : such as occurs between a piston and a cylinder Turning : such as
occurs with a wheel on an axle Screw motion : such as occurs between a nut and a
bolt All other cases are considered to be combinations of sliding and rolling are
called higher pairs. Strictly screw motion is a higher pair as it combines turning
and sliding. Slider – Crank Mechanism The slider- crank mechanism is well known
as the basis of a reciprocating engine. As shown in the diagram below it consists of
three turning pairs and one sliding pair
In the above diagram, the link 1 is fixed. If we now fix link 2, that is consider an
inversion of the mechanism, we obtain the mechanism shown below. This is known
as Whiworth’s Quick Return Mechanism.
