This document provides an introduction to pneumatic systems. It defines pneumatics as using compressed air to generate mechanical movement. A pneumatic system uses compressed air transported through pipes to move, work or control movement. Common applications of pneumatic systems include packaging, feeding, transferring materials, sorting, stacking, stamping, clamping, shifting, positioning, and pneumatic robots. The document lists advantages of pneumatic systems such as availability of air, ability to transport and store compressed air, insensitivity to temperature fluctuations, minimal risk of explosion, clean exhaust air, adjustable speeds and forces, and overload safety. Disadvantages include need for air preparation, non-uniform piston speeds, limited output force, noise, and relative expense compared to

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 Pneumatic Robot. Pneumatic System. Conveying Conveyor Actuators used in Pushing Pneumatic System. Clamping Punching, bending and sofa testing Actuators used in Machining - Forming Actuators used in Testing and Quality Control Actuators used in Machining - Drilling 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)
