Indirect Control of Double Acting Cylinder

A double acting cylinder is to extend when a pushbutton is pressed, causing air to flow through a valve and into one side of the cylinder, extending it. When the pushbutton is released, the valve switches and air flows to the other side of the cylinder, causing it to retract. A circuit diagram is drawn showing a pushbutton valve connected to a directional control valve that indirectly controls flow to the double acting cylinder.

Exercise 1B

INDIRECT CONTROL OF DOUBLE ACTING CYLINDER

Objectives:

1. To design an indirect control circuit of a double acting cylinder.

The problem:

A double acting cylinder is to extend when a pushbutton is operated. Upon release of the
pushbutton the cylinder is to retract. The cylinder is of small bore (25 mm diameter)
requiring a small flow rate to operate at the correct speed.

Set-up diagram

Draw the pneumatic circuit diagram for the problem. Designate the components and
indicate the numbering system for the valve ports.
PNEUMATICS CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
Indirect Control Circuit:

Pressing the button on the valve A actuates valve B and causes the cylindrical shaft to extend
indirectly. (Fig. 1)

The cylindrical shaft then retracts upon releasing the button from valve A. (Fig. 2)
