PNEUMATIC & HYDRAULIC


Introduction to Pneumatic
The use of compressed air in order to generate force
that can produce mechanical movement.
Definition of Pneumatic
The history of Pneumatic

Pneuma means air or breathe and Aktik means
action/motion (pergerakan) - Greek/Yunani ancient words.
In a simple sentence :
Pneumatics means the movement of air
What is Pneumatic System?

Pneumatic system is;

A way to move, work or control movement using
compressed air in a pneumatic system through
pipes.
Compressed Air
The 3rd Largest Energy Source
Originates From The Atmosphere
Used in Every Industry
Applications
Packaging
Feeding
Transfer of materials
Sorting
Stacking
Stamping and embossing
Clamping
Shifting
Positioning

Advantages and
Disadvantages of
Pneumatics
1. Availability
Air is Practically Available Everywhere.
It is Available in Unlimited Quantities.
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
Air can be Easily Transported in Pipelines,
even Over Large Distances
2. Transport
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
A Compressor Need Not Be in Continuous
Operation.
Compressed Air can be Stored in a Reservoir
and Removed as Required.
The Reservoir can be Transportable.
3. Storage
Compressed Air is Relatively Insensitive to
Temperature Fluctuations.
This Ensures Reliable Operation, Even
Under Extreme Conditions.
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
4. Temperature
There is Minimal Risk of Explosion or Fire.
No Expensive Protection Against Explosion
is Required.
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
5. Explosion Proof
Unlubricated Exhaust Air is Clean.
Any Unlubricated Air Does Not Cause
Contamination.
Useful in Food, Wood and Textile Industries.
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
6. Cleanliness
Operating Components are of Simple
Construction and Therefore Relatively
Inexpensive.
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
7. Components
Compressed Air is a Very Fast Working Medium.
High Working Speeds Can be Obtained.
8. Speed
Advantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
With Compressed Air Components, Speeds
and Forces are Infinitely Variable.
9. Adjustable
Pneumatic Tools and Operating Components
Can be Loaded to the Point of Stopping and
Therefore Overload Safe.
10. Overload Safe
Compressed Air Requires Good
Preparation.
Dirt and Condensate Should Not be
Present.
Disadvantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
1. Preparation
It is Not Always Possible to Achieve
Uniform and Constant Piston Speeds
with Compressed Air.
2. Compressible
Compressed Air is Economical Only
up to a Certain Force Requirement.
At 6-7 bar, and dependent on the
Travel and Speed, the Output Limit is
Between 20000 and 30000 Newtons.
Piston force is exceeding 30,000
Newton.
Disadvantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
3. Force Requirement
The Exhaust Air is Loud.
The Problem is Largely Solved with
New Silencers.
Disadvantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
4. Noise Level
Compressed Air is a Relatively
Expensive Means of Conveying
Power.
The High Energy Costs are Partially
Compensated by Inexpensive
Components and Higher Performance.
Disadvantages of Pneumatics / Compressed Air
5. Costs
In a pneumatic system there are 2 main things that can
be controlled:-
1) Pressure (the force generated at the cylinder)
2) Flow rate (the speed of the cylinder)
