Pneumatic subsystem
The above diagram shows the schematic of one pneumatic cylinder.
Pneumatic cylinder
- diameter = 50mm
- piston rod diameter = 18mm
- max. extendable length = 500mm
Valve
- 5/3 valve, closed in neutral position
- simple on/off type, non proportional
- nominal width = 8mm (see valve1.jpg and valve2.jpg for
details of the internal structure of the valves. Pictures shown with permisson from
Landefeld Druckluft und Hydraulik GmbH)
- nominal throughput = 1300 ltr/min
- min. time to switch = 20ms
- to control the movement of the piston the valve is switched at a high rate,
shifting the switch ratio to cause motion in the desired direction at the desired speed
Supply pressure manifold
- holds all six valves including the silencers/dampeners
Silencer/Dampener
- adjustable dampener to control the outgoing airflow
Tubing
- Polyurethane tubes
- inner diameter = 6.5mm
Filter/Regulator
- filters primary air supply
- allows for regulating the primary pressure (currently adjusted to 5 bar)
Primary air supply (compressor)
- max. pressure = 8 bar (116 psi)
- power = 1.5 kW
- airflow max. 108 ltr/min (CFM = 3.81)
- tank volume = 24 ltr
Status
The pneumatic hardware is operative, only one cylinder can be used at the monent.
