Correct sizing of components, including piping, valves and actuators, can improve the productive capacity of pneumatic systems. Valve sizing is particularly important. If the flow capacity is too ...

Modern pneumatic components can help plants save money through reduced energy consumption. Many plant engineers fall into the trap of oversizing, thinking they are playing it safe.

Consider a typical pneumatic motion system with an air cylinder pushing a 10-lb mass vertically 3 in. in 0.170 sec. Supply pressure is 79.7 psia (65 psig) and exhaust pressure is 14.7 psia.

We set up this actual pneumatic-motion circuit in our lab using all the variables identified for the 1.50-in.-diameter cylinder, except without a PLC. Without the PLC's 0.01-sec delay, cylinder ...
