The force produced by a cylinder



a The real force produced by a cylinder will be less than the theoretical output because of internal friction and external side loading.

a Flow control valves are studied in Exercise Exercise 3.

Exercise 2 – Pneumatic Actuators Procedure Outline


Presenting your work.

a Students will require a small wrench of the appropriate size in order to turn the lock nuts on the flow control valves. They will also require a small ruler in order to measure the stroke of some of the actuators.

Identifying the actuators

a You will study flow control valves and directional control valves in Exercise Exercise 3.

a Following each of these tables is a figure showing the actuators in the workstation. In Step 9, you will use these figures to identify the actuators.



a You may wish to start the system and observe its operation in order to help in identifying the actuators.



Manipulating the actuators

b



a Depending how the system is adjusted, it is possible that movement towards the left is stopped by contact between two external metal components, rather than by the internal cushion.

b



a Tighten the lock nuts on the flow control valves hand tight. Do not over tighten them as your instructor may adjust them before you restart the system.

Since this step is intended to remind you that all actuators need to be firmly mounted and regularly inspected, it is not necessary to use a tool to verify that the actuator hardware is properly tightened. A visual inspection is sufficient.

Observing actuator operation



a If you are using the Packaging Station, you may wish to watch as the team using the Handling Station performs the step or ask them to describe what happened.

Troubleshooting

a As a systems operator, you should be able to localize malfunctions and identify their causes and sources. In some cases, you will be able to fix the malfunction yourself. In many cases, however, you will be required to document the malfunctions and pass this information onto the appropriate experts for resolution. Be as precise as possible in describing the problem. Refer to all components using the correct names and device tags as shown in the system plans.
