Unit - 3: Actuation Systems

This document discusses actuation systems and includes sections on cylinders, cylinder sequencing, and servo and proportional control valves. It describes cylinders as linear actuators that can be either hydraulic or pneumatic. Cylinders consist of a cylindrical tube along which a piston can slide, and come in two basic types - single-acting cylinders, which use pressure on one side of the piston only, and double-acting cylinders, which use pressure on both sides and can push and pull a load.

CYLINDERS

The hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder is an example of a


linear actuator.

The principles and form are the same for both hydraulic
and pneumatic versions differences being purely a
matter of size as a consequence of the higher
pressures used with hydraulics.

The cylinder consists of a cylindrical tube along which a


piston/ram can slide.

There arc two basic types, single- acting cylinders and


double-acting cylinders.
