The operational part of the experiment are successfully conducted so as the experiment since
we follow step by step the work instruction provided.We have taken some precaution before
conducting the experiment.For instance,we checked power supply for any leaking or high
pressure.Then,we put the component in place as shown in the circuit from the lab sheet.After
that,we start connecting the polyurethane tubing to the components.So,then we double check
every connection to ensure it correctly place and no leaking on the tubing.
Here are some explaination about double acting cylinders and function of the system operated
in this experiment. Double acting cylinder is considered to be as a main actuator in any
pneumatic systems. Double acting cylinders are more expensive than single acting cylinders,
but double acting cylinders are superior to single acting cylinders by any other important
measure. Double action cylinders are faster and stronger. In industrial applications, single
action cylinders are used if possible, but when speed and force are important double acting
cylinders are employed. Applications include opening and closing doors, taking things off
conveyor belts and putting things on conveyor belts. They are also used for lifting and
moving packages around as well as for presses and punches. The function of Double acting
cylinder is it act as an output device that converts the pressure energy to a mechanical energy
(linear motion).
