INTRODUCTION Pneumatics is the study of air movement and air
phenomena. It is derived from the Greek term pneuma which means
breath or wind.
Pneumatic equipment is interpreted as a systemsmachine and devices operated by or relying upon an airpressure or vacuum.
Pneumatics started when the need for automation and
rationalization of operational sequences continued toincrease. Pneumatics is usually used in areas where fire or
explosion hazards exist.

Intro.
Hydraulics defined as branch of science which treats of water or other fluid in
motion. Comes from the Greek word hydor meaning water and aulos
meaning tube or pipe. In hydraulic system water, oil or other liquid can be used. A fluid system that uses compressed air is called pneumatic system
and a fluid system that uses oil is called a hydraulic system. Fluids are substances capable of flowing, having particles which
easily move and change their relative position without a separationof mass.

Construction and working principle
The Single-Acting Pneumatic Cylinder Can produce work only in one direction
because the compressed air is applied to one
side only. If cylinder positive chamber (+) is supplied with compressed air apressure acts on the piston surface. If the force generated by thepressure [ F = Pressure (P) x Piston Area (A)] is greater than thecounter force of the spring, the piston moves with the piston rodto the right. This movement is termed forward of positive stroke.
If the compressed air supply is interrupted, the spring force issufficient to move the piston to the left (-) and exhaust thepositive chamber. This movement is called return or negativestroke.

Types of cylinders Cable cylinders
A double acting cylinder, where a cable is attached to each side ofthe piston and guided over rollers.
Used in door operation, small-sized unit producing large strokelength.
Tandem cylinders The design involves two double-acting cylinders which have been
joined to form a single unit. By this arrangement and simultaneous loading of both pistons, the
force on the piston rod is almost doubled. This design is needed for such applications where a large force is
required but the cylinder diameter is restricted.
Multi-position cylinders Consist of two or several double acting cylinders
Rotary cylinder

RULES ON REPRESENTATIONOFDIRECTIONAL VALVES
1. Symbols are used for representing valves in circuit diagrams.These symbols specify only the function of the valve, but do notindicate the design principle which it is constructed.
2. Valve switching position are represented as square.The number of adjacent squares shows how many switchingposition the valve has.
3. The function and working principle is drawn inside the boxes(squares).Lines indicate flow paths. Arrow shows the direction of flow.
4. Shut-off positions are identified in the boxes by lines drawn atright angles.
5. Flow path junctions within a valve are represented by a dot.6. The connections (inlet and outlet ports) are shown by linesdrawn on the outside of the box representing the normal or initialpositions.

RULES ON REPRESENTATIONOFDIRECTIONAL VALVES
7. The other position is obtained by shifting the squares until theflow paths correspond to the connections.The switching positions may be identified by lower case letterso,a,b,c..
8. Valve with 3 switching positions has the mid-position or neutralposition identified by lower case letter o.
9. Exhaust flow path without pipe connection (free exhaust) isrepresented by triangle directly on the symbol.
10. Exhaust flow path with pipe connection (contained exhaust) isrepresented by a triangle not directly on the symbol.
11. To ensure that the valve is properly installed, the connectionsare labelled with capital letters or numbers.

RULES ON REPRESENTATIONOFDIRECTIONAL VALVES
12. The designation of a valve is based on thenumber of controlled connections and numberof switching positions. The first number in thedesignation specifies the number of paths, orthe controlled connections. The secondnumber specifies the switching positions ofthe valve.Example:
= 3/2 way valve
Number of switchingpositions
Number of controlled connections orNumber of paths or number of ports

SOLENOID VALVE
These valves are used where theswitching impulse emanates from anelectrical timing device, electrical limitswitches, pressure probes or electroniccontrollers.
Is normally selected for controls involvingextremely long distances and for shortswitching time.

NON RETURN VALVE
are devices which preferentially stop the flowin one direction and permit flow in theopposite direction.

CHECK VALVE Can stop the flow completely in one direction
and the air flows in the opposite direction withas low a pressure loss as possible.
Blocking of one direction can be effected bycones, balls, plates or diaphragms.

SHUTTLE VALVE Is also called double control valve or double
check valve. It has two inlets X and Y and one outlet A. It is also called OR valve.

THROTTLE RELIEF VALVE
Is also known as SPEED REGULATING VALVE. Acheck valve blocks the flow of air in one direction and aircan flow only in a regulated cross-section. In theopposite, the air can flow freely through the open checkvalve.
If possible, throttle relief valve should be mounteddirectly on the cylinder.
