Double acting cylinder is an output device
that converts the pressure energy to a

In this task, the cylinder is actuated
directly via a manually or mechanically
actuated
valve,

Pneumatic circuit.
3- Check all parts are connected properly
with each other.
4- Switch on the service unit.
5- Start the circuit.
6- Check the operation of the circuit by
actuating 5/2 way valve

malfunction
8- Turn off the service unit
9- Dismantle and tidy up.
Module 3: Direct and indirect control of double acting cylinder

Cylinders with large piston diameters
have high air consumption rates. Control
elements with high nominal flow rates
must be used to actuate them. In this

Learning objectives:
Task description:
A filling system fills bottles with milk. The bottles are fed to the system on
a conveyor belt and are stopped underneath the filler using pneumatic
cylinders. The double acting cylinder 1A1 (due to its large size) has to be
controlled indirectly. Figure (3.6) shows the positional sketch of this
machine
