Unit – V
Circuit to actuate single acting and double acting pneumatic cylinders ,Circuit to control speed of a single
acting and double acting cylinder,(meter in meter out),Pilot controlled double acting cylinder, circuit
for Double acting cylinder to advance by actuation of a solenoid valve and it’s retract
movements is delayed by time lag through a timer, 8Hours
Unit – VI
Circuit to Press fit a pin to a hole with a pre-condition that while actuating of the cylinder, both
the hands of the operator should be engaged (two handed safety circuits),A piston rod of a
double acting cylinder is to extend when two 3/2 DC valves are actuated if one of the 3/2DC
valve is released the cylinder returns to its initial position(AND function), A double acting
cylinder extends if one or both 3/2DC valve are operated. If both 3/2 DC valves are released then
cylinder retracts (OR function)
