ACTUATION OF A SINGLE ACTING PNEUMATIC CYLINDER

AIM : To design and simulate a pneumatic circuit for the actuation of a Single Acting
Cylinder.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
NO. NAME OF THE COMPONENT QUANTITY
1 Air Compressor with necessary fittings 1
2 FRL – Filter, Regulator & Lubricator 1
3 SAC – single acting cylinder 1
4 3/2 push button valve 1

PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure whether the Compressor is connected to the Pneumatic Kit properly with
required Pressure. ( 3 – 5 bar)
2. Arrange the Components as required.
3. Connect the Components with necessary fittings, as shown in the Circuit Diagram.
4. Ensure the removal of all unnecessary components.
5. Ensure again the connection are Error-free and Leak-proof
6. Switch on FRL Unit
7. Verify the Simulation
8. if necessary, again make the required corrections in the Circuit
9. Simulate the circuit and verify the output.
