Pneumatic Cylinders
Same basic construction and configuration as hydraulic
cylinders
Since they operate at much lower pressures, they are
of much lighter construction
Quicker acting, less precise

Pressure is in psig
Gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure

Pneumatic Cylinders
To calculate the air consumption, you must calculate the volume of air required to extend and retract
the cylinder.
𝑉𝐸 = 𝐴𝑃 ∗ 𝑆
𝑉𝑅 = 𝐴𝑃 − 𝐴𝑅 ∗ 𝑆
S is stroke length
Slide – a cylinder with guide rods that run parallel to the piston rod.

Pneumatic Motors
Similar in function and construction to hydraulic motors
Used where low to moderate torque is required
Can operate at speeds in excess of 10,000 rpm
Hydraulics motors are limited to 5,000 rpm
Advantages:
Can stall under full load for indefinite periods of time
Can be use were electric motors would be considered a fire hazard
Lighter and less expensive that electric motors
MECH1300
Pneumatic Motors
Running Torque - The torque generated when the motor is
operating at a particular speed
Starting Torque – The torque generated when a motor is
started from a dead stop
Stall Torque – The torque required to stop a rotating motor
at a particular supply pressure. It is always higher than the
starting torque, because it must overcome the momentum of
the motor.
Speed depends on load and supply pressure
If the load is increased, torque will increase, speed will
decrease
If supply pressure is increased then speed increases, if
supply pressure decreases then speed decreases
MECH1300
Pneumatic Motors
Free Speed- The speed under no load at a particular supply
pressure
Design Speed – The rotational speed at the maximum
power output.
Graphic symbols are the same as hydraulic motors only the arrows
are not shaded.
MECH1300
Other Pneumatic Actuators
Grippers – used to pick up and manipulate parts
Escapements – an actuator that allows parts to be released one at a time
MECH1300
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves
Similar to hydraulics
Two-way, three-way, four-way – the number of ways means the number of ports
Two-way – Pressure port is connected to a compressed air source and the outlet is
connected to the actuator.
Three Way – Pressure port is connect to a compressed air source, outlet is
connected to the actuator and the exhaust port is open to the atmosphere.
MECH1300
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves
Four-Way – Exhaust ports are combined. Most commonly used to control double
acting cylinders
Hydraulics use a Detent – a mechanism that holds a valve securely in its position.
Pneumatics low pressures and tight seals allow valves to maintain position using
friction.
MECH1300
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves
Some Basic Pneumatic DCV actuation types:
MECH1300
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves
Check Valves – allow flow in one direction only (like a LED in electronics). Can
flow from X to Y but not from Y to X
Shuttle Valves – allow flow from either of two inlets (p1 or P2) to be sent to a
common outlet (sometimes call an OR valve)
AND Valves – requires pressure at both P1 and P2 simultaneously for flow to be
sent to the outlet. (used for safety applications)
MECH1300
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves
Air Logic Valves – AND & OR valves. They can be used in areas where electrical
control presents a fire hazard.
Quick Exhaust Valve – used to increase speed by speeding up the exhaust flow

𝐢𝑉 is a sizing tool. A value with a large 𝐢𝑉 will have a smaller pressure drop across

Pneumatic Flow Control Valves
Valves with a return check for free flow in the reverse direction. Flow is controlled
from A to B, but B to A is unrestricted
Connected in a meter-in or meter-out configuration
Meter-in: Flow rate into the actuator is being controlled
Meter-Out: Flow rate out of the actuator is being controlled
MECH1300
Air Preparation
Pressure Relief Valves – Spring loaded valves that open when a preset maximum
pressure is reached to prevent further rise in pressure
Pressure regulators – Used to supply pressure to an appropriate level for a
particular machine
Filters – Filters that remove contaminates from the air that could cause damage to
components
Lubricators – a fined oil mist that is sprayed into the airflow that will be carried
downstream and precipitate out ono the components.
Combined Conditioning Units – A filter, regulator and lubricator combined into one
unit (called a FRL or trio)
MECH1300
Air Preparation
Water removal – in pneumatics water exists as water vapor and as liquid water.
When it is in liquid form it becomes problematic and can cause corrosion and
reduction of effectiveness
Relative humidity – the percentage of water in the as compared to the maximum
amount it could hold
Dew Point – The temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water
Air dryers reduce the water in the air
Refrigeration dryers (chillers) – uses a refrigerant that is compressed and heated
then expanded and cooled
Absorption dryers use a gel material that absorbs water as the air is passed
through it. They are used to drop the dew point.
MECH1300
Air Distribution
Pneumatics use a centrally located compressor and receiver tank that supplies
multiple machines.
It’s distributed throughout the facility through a distribution header
Lines are dropped from the conduits to supply each machine
Usually uses schedule 40 steel pipe
