Torres, John Lester C. 4ME-A

The document summarizes various components of pneumatic systems including air supply components like compressors, receivers, and filters; control valves like 3-way and 5-way valves; pneumatic logic components like shuttle valves and AND valves; actuators like diaphragm and solenoid actuators; and linear actuators like single-acting and double-acting cylinders. It provides symbols and brief descriptions of the functions of these various pneumatic components.

PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS

AIR SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION

Name Symbol Function


Compressor High pressure air can be produced using piston, screw or
vane compressors.
The function of the receiver is to store the air for future use,
Receiver to smooth uneven pressure and to allow water to fall out of
the air to the bottom of the tank where it can be drained.
Filters are used to remove small particles from the air which,
Filter if allowed to remain, would block small ports and jam spools
etc.
A pressure regulator is used to lower the pressure for the
Regulator system components.

This enables several components to be connected to the


Manifold compressed air source and provides a means of switching
circuits on and off.
Air Bleed This is simply an open pipe that allows the air in the circuit to
escape once pressure is reduced by a diaphragm valve.
Air Pipes The air produced by the compressor is distributed by air lines
Connected or pipe-work to the points where it is required.

Air Pipes In a factory the pipe-work is run downhill in a further


Not attempt to remove excess water from the system.

CONTROL VALVES

Name Symbol Function


3-2 Valve This valve shows 3 ports in each box and 2 boxes to
indicate it has 2 stages of operation - hence 3-2 Valve.
5-2 Valve This valve shows 5 ports in each box and 2 boxes to
indicate it has 2 stages of operation - hence 5-2 Valve.
Exhaust The symbol shown is used to indicate when compressed
air is released to the atmosphere.
These control the speed of cylinder operation by
Unidirectional restricting the flow of compressed air. This symbol shows
Flow Control the inclusion of a restrictor and a check valve, or non-

return valve, used such that air is restricted from left to


right and will free flow only from right to left.
2-way Flow This symbol omits the check valve to indicate that the air
Control is able to flow in either direction
Fixed Value This symbol omits both the check valve and the variable
Flow Control arrow to indicate that the air is able to flow in either
direction with pressure lowered to a set value.

PNEUMATIC LOGIC

Name Symbol Function


Shuttle They allow a signal to pass through from either input A or
Valve B (or both) and will allow the reverse flow of system
exhaust through these same inputs.
This valve can be used to logically decide if there is more
AND Valve than one signal present on the inputs.

ACTUATORS

Name Symbol Function


Diaphragm These are capable of detecting small changes in air pressure.
Actuator

Pilot signals can be used to operate a switch or actuator by


Pilot Air monitoring the output pressure of a valve

Solenoid Solenoids uses an electrical pulse to change the state of the


Actuator valve.

LINEAR ACTUATORS

Name Symbol Function


Single- In a single-acting cylinder, compressed air is used to push
acting the piston out (outstroke), and a spring to return
Cylinder it (instroke).

Double- Double-acting cylinders use compressed air for


acting the outstroke and also for the instroke by reversing the air
Cylinder flow direction which is achieved using a five-port valve.
