Description
Key Components of a Basic Pneumatic Trainer:
1. Air Supply System:
• Compressor: Provides compressed air to the system.
• Air Reservoir: Stores compressed air for use in experiments.
• Compressor: Air Preparation Units:
• Compressor: Air filters to remove contaminants.
• Compressor:Pressure regulators to control air pressure.
2. Actuators:
• Single-Acting Cylinders: Extend when air is applied and retract using a spring.
• Double-Acting Cylinders: Extend and retract using air pressure on both sides.
3. Control Valves:
• Directional Control Valves (DCVs):
• 3/2-way valves for controlling single-acting cylinders.
• 5/2-way valves for controlling double-acting cylinders.
• Flow Control Valves: Adjust the speed of actuators.
• Pressure Control Valves: Maintain consistent air pressure.
4. Tubing and Connectors:
• Flexible pneumatic tubing for air flow.
• Quick-connect fittings for easy assembly and reconfiguration.
5. Control Board:
• A robust board for mounting components.
• Clearly marked slots for organizing circuits.
6. Measurement Tools:
• Pressure gauges for monitoring air pressure.
