BERMEO Module 4 - Pneumatics Activity 1

This document provides instructions for an activity involving the direct control of a double acting cylinder using a 5/2 directional control valve with a single solenoid. The objectives are to use the 5/2 DCV with a spring return single solenoid and different electropneumatic equipment. The activity requires a double acting cylinder, 5/2 valve, power supply, and switches. The procedures describe connecting the pneumatic and electric circuits and explaining what happens to the cylinder when different switches are pressed or released.

Module 4
Activity 01 - Direct control of a double acting cylinder by using 5/2
directional control valve, single solenoid

Objectives:
• The student should be able to use 5/2 DCV, single solenoid,
with spring return.
• The student should be able to use different electropneumatic
equipment.

Background:

A direct control circuit is used to control a 5/2 DCV single solenoid by


using a push button switch. Activating the pushbutton will energize the
coil (solenoid) which in turn will actuate (operate) the valve.

Required components:

1- Double acting cylinder

2- 5/2 way valve, single solenoid

3- Power supply

4- Switches

Procedures:
1- Connect the pneumatic circuit according to the
pneumatic circuit as shown in Fig.1
2- Connect the electric circuit according to the electric circuit as shown in
Fig.2.

3- Check that all parts are connected firmly with each other.

4- Switch on the power from the power supply and


open the service unit.

5- Press switch S1. Explain what happens to the


cylinder.
The piston rod expands in the cylinder because the
air compressed that flow in the path.
6- Deactivate switch S1 and explain what happen
to the cylinder.
The piston rod in the cylinder retract because the air
compressed release to the atmosphere

7- Replace switch S1 with a decent switch, repeat the steps above


and
explain what happen to cylinder.
When you pressed the detent switch it remain at rest and the piston
rod stay at rest at the same time.
