operations may easily be obtained in a machine. By using this technique, the cylinders can be
actuated one after another in sequences like clamping, feeding and ejecting (or) lifting,
pushing and clamping (or) in various other combinations. The pneumatic circuit utilizing this
technique is known as automatic sequencing circuit. Correct sequence of motion of each
cylinder and the respective cycle time, should be carefully studied before designing such a
circuit.

two compression strokes for each revolution of the crankshaft.

Air is not clean and hence contamination may result in pneumatic circuit. Also, due to
time fluctuations, the receiver air pressure does not remain constant. Also, some parts of the
pneumatic system have to be lubricated for proper maintenance.
For cleaning the air, regulating the pressure of air and lubricating pneumatic parts, three
units 'Filter - Pressure Regulator - Lubricator' (Trio unit) are put together and this combined
unit - Trio unit - is called FRL unit.

in industries. If the pneumatic control system using low-pressure air is used to achieve the
above logic control functions, then it is known as Fluidic Logic Control.

to perform a wide variety of control functions including sensing, logic and m more functions.

49. How pump cavitation is identified?
Cavitation is the inability of a pump to draw a full charge of oil either because of air
leaks or restrictions in the inlet line. When a pump starts to cavitate, its noise level increases
and it may become very hot around the shaft and front bearing. Other symptoms of cavitation
are erratic movement of cylinders, difficulty in building up full pressure, and a milky
appearance of the oil.

50. Write about leakage testing of air cylinders?
Piston seals and rod seals become worn to the point that cylinder performance (or)
I efficiency is affected. Leakage around the rod seal can easily be detected and the seal can
be replaced. At that time, the rod bearing which is usually brass, bronze (or) Teflon,
It should also be replaced.

ground.

When the sequence changes, the hard-wired electro mechanical has to be changed.
This is expensive, but micro electronic control is programmable. So when the sequence
changes, the program only has to be changed.
