Group 5 Questions

Pneumatic Actuators

1. It is used when a long stroke length and a short retracted length are required.
a. Single acting cylinder
b. Double acting cylinder
c. Telescopic cylinder*
d. Displacement Cylinder

2. These are similar in construction to the standard double-acting cylinders, but

have a cylinder rod extending through both cylinder end caps.

a. through-Rod Cylinder *
b. displacement Cylinder
c. impact cylinder
d. tandem Cylinder

3. In this mounting, the cylinder is supported along its center line.

a. Fixed Centerline mountings *

b. Pivot centerline mounting
c. Pivot centerline mounting
d. blind end flange

4. this prevents shock due to stopping loads at the end of piston stroke.

a. mounting
b. Cylinder
c. rod
d. cushion *

5. It is used to convert the energy of fluid back into the mechanical power.

a. rod
b. compressor
c. actuator *
d. piston

6. It states that Pressure applied to a confined fluid at any point is transmitted

undiminished and equally throughout the fluid in all directions and acts upon every
part of the confining vessel at right angles to its interior surfaces.

a. Pascals Law *
b. Amplification of force
c. bernoulli's Principle
d. Conservation of energy

7.It employ hydraulic pressure to drive an output member. These are used where high
speed and large forces are required. The fluid used in hydraulic actuator is highly
incompressible so that pressure applied can be transmitted instantaneously to the
member attached to it.

a. pneumatic actuator
b. filter
c. Hydraulic actuator*
d. Reservoir

8.It is branch of science concerned with the practical applications of fluids,

primarily liquids, in motion.
a. pneumatics
b. biology
c. earth science
d. hydraulics *

9. whis is not an advantage of Hydraulics?

a. variable speed and direction

b. power-to-weight ratio
c. suceptible to contamination and foreign objects*
d. stall condition and overall protection

10. It has a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the
retraction and extension of the piston.

a. single acting cylinder

b. double acting cylinder *
c. Tandem cylinder
d.impact cylinder
