Pneumatics

In this course, we learned the fundamentals of pneumatic logic. Our work was completed digitally using our Amatrol textbook, covering seven chapters to better understand the logic and purpose of pneumatic systems. These chapters included Pneumatic Power Systems, Basic Pneumatic Circuits, Principles of Pneumatic Pressure and Flow, Pneumatic DCV Applications, Air Logic, and Pneumatic Maintenance. To demonstrate our understanding, we performed labs and created functional circuits with FluidSIM. Using FluidSIM, I was able to design complex circuits, demonstrating my grasp of schematic symbols, their meanings, and the functions of each component. The circuits described below feature two dual-acting cylinders that extend simultaneously and a single-acting cylinder that retracts as the dual cylinders extend and extends as they retract.
