test 1 prep pneumatics Flashcards
why would you shop around
rarely cost often correct functionality, delivery and maintenence contracts
what are consumables
items/equipment meant to be used in large numbers ex. o rings, grease, wire(sometimes), screws,zipties
difference between hydraulic cylinder and pneumatic actuator
pneumatic actuators can be rotation as well as simple cylinder/stroke style direct motion
why choose a pneumatic actuator
often price ease of use/maintenence
what are suction applications good for
moving many smooth or delicate items
what does pneumatics refer to
compressed air systems and tools/equipment that run on that air
data sheets
they’re important
what does a pneumatic actuator do
turns the energy from compressed air into mechanical motion
what is suction applications
by reversing the flow a vacuum can be created
what are stores
essentially a storehouse for parts at larger companies where you can go and get parts
are pneumatics efficient for heavy load applications
No due to its compressible nature of air and that they rarely reach much higher than 100 psi
how do compressors work
taking an intake of air and squishing into a smaller space
