Fluid Automation (Mechatronic Engineering)

Example of exam 1
Name: Surname: Id. number:

1. Name the two pressure measurement scales and differentiate them.


2. Explain the constructional features of a double acting cylinder.
3. Differentiate between slide (or spool) valve and poppet valve.
4. What is the effect of signal conflict (blocking signals) in multiple actuator circuits?
5. Differentiate between the behaviours of delay-on and delay-off timers with the help of a timing
diagram.
6. Calculations
The following data refer to a test on the flow rate of a pneumatic valve. Supply (P1) and downstream
(P2) absolute pressure are referred. Flow rate is in standard reference conditions (ANR). During the
test supply pressure P1 is constant, temperature is equal to 20°C

P1 = 4 (bar) P2 (bar) Q (l/s ANR)


3.5 5.20
3.0 6.65
2.5 7.58
2.0 8.20
1.5 8.77
1.2 8.91
1.1 8.91

P1 = 5 (bar) P2 (bar) Q (l/s ANR)


4.5 5.61
4.0 7.47
3.5 8.76
3.0 9.78
2.5 10.42
2.0 10.89
1.5 11.09
1.2 11.15
Calculate:

⋅ Conductance C of the valve – (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions);

⋅ Critical ratio b of the valve (average value between the two test conditions);

⋅ Nominal flow rate Qn of the valve (l/s ANR);

⋅ Valve coefficient Cv (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions).

The pneumatic valve above controls the extension and retraction of a cylinder. The cylinder is a
double acting type with double rod. Neglecting the pressure drop between the valve and the
cylinder, the downstream pressure P2 of the valve can be considered equal to the pressure inside
the cylinder chambers. With P1 = 5 bar and ∆P= 2 bar (across the valve) calculate:

⋅ w, velocity of the rod (m/s);

⋅ t IN (s);

⋅ t OUT (s);

⋅ nc, number of cycles of the cylinder, per unit time (cycle/min).

Data: D= 80 mm (cylinder barrel diameter), d= 22 mm (rod diameter), s= 250 mm (cylinder stroke).
