Exercise No. 1
Electropneumatic Application:

SORTING DEVICE
Problem Description:
Using a sorting device, parts are to be transferred
from a conveyor belt. By pressing the pushbutton
switch, the piston rod of a single-acting cylinder
pushes the part off the conveyor belt. When the
pushbutton is released, the piston rod returns to
the retracted end position. Parts is 5kg in mass.

 SOLUTION DESCRIPTION: (Describe the Operation of your circuit)
MATERIALS’ PROPERTY

Indicate your own cylinder parameters for this

type of problem based on:
By pressing the push button S1 (switch), the solenoid valve 1Y will be energized causing it to close the position, and
the 3/2-way solenoid valve is actuated. The piston rod of the single-acting cylinder will advance to the forward

position.
1. Maximum stroke = 50mm After releasing the push button switch S1, the solenoid valve 1Y will be de-energized caused to open position and
2. Piston rod diameter = 20mm the 3/2-way solenoid valve is switched back to its original position. The piston rod returns to its retracted end
3. Piston position = 0mm
position.
4. Piston diameter = 8mm
5. Mounting angle = 0 degree
6. Static Friction = 0.15
7. Sliding Friction = 0.1

Control Valve Property

1. Standard Nominal Flow Rate = 60l/min

2. Left Actuation = electrically actuated FUNCTION DIAGRAM:
3. Right Actuation = spring returned

Air Service Unit

1. Standard Nominal Flow Rate = 750l/min

2. Nominal Pressure = 0.6MPa
