• Right-sizing pneumatic valves
  Determining flow capacity is a critical factor in valve selection. Directional-control valves are common in pneumatic systems. They control compressed-air flow to cylinders, rotary actuators, grippers, and other mechanisms in packaging, handling, assembly, and countless other applications...
• Sizing pneumatic cyclinders and ISO valves
  standard pneumatic cylinders and examine Cvvalues for standard ISO valves, including 18 and 26 mm and ISO Sizes 1, 2, and 3. We'll also chart average rod speed relative to cylinder bore size to pinpoint ISO valves that best match flow demands. The approach is based on standard Cv calculations: Cv=. GT...
• A few guidelines for figuring pneumatic-actuator load requirements
  Library. eBooks. Audio / Videos. Training Center. Whitepapers. Reference Centers. A few guidelines for figuring pneumatic-actuator load requirements. March 23, 2000. Cylinders are rather simple devices, and calculating the theoretical force output is fairly straightforward. But sizing a cylinder...

  capabilities. With the advent of fieldbus networking, pneumatic components can be simply attached to a system with less wiring and with the added capability to create centralized or decentralized valve systems. Given the role pneumatic systems play in many industries, the question then becomes: How can...
• Rolling-ring linear actuators put friction to work
  , Acme, or leadscrews), pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, and timing belts. Here, good designs minimize friction and compressive loads because these factors waste power, promote wear, and generate excess heat. But linear actuators built around a novel "rolling-ring" design from Amacoil Inc., Aston, Pa...

• Linear actuators get a servo look
  for millions of operating cycles, speedier throughput, and programming agility has exposed shortcomings in these mechanisms. There are often trade-offs when it comes to obtaining precise, controllable load positioning. Recently, pneumatics makers have upgraded "bang-bang" pneumatic cylinders with external...
• Software Animates And Analyzes Fluid-Power Curcuits
  . They agreed perfectly. The simulation mode works on either a single diagram, a section, or an entire project. We tried it on a welding-line machine designed of about 70 pages (diagrams), and about 600 cylinders and valves. Due to the project's size, the software could not simulate everything at once...
• Automation On a Budget
  parts in machine-tool fixtures, and automating band-saws, to pressing, swaging, and crimping operations. One typical case involves endurance testing of gasoline nozzles, cycling handles with pneumatic cylinders to repeatedly start and stop flow. Control valves regulate airflow and actuation rate...
