This book covers the whole range of today’s technology for pneumatic drives. It details drives for factory automation and automotive applications as well as describes the technology for the process industry like positioners or spring-and-diaphragm. In addition, the book examines several control strategies like binary mode cylinder drives or position controlled drives and computer aided analysis of complex systems.

This title seeks: to explain the basic mechanics of compressible flow; to formulate general procedures for preliminary evaluation and detailed design analysis of pneumatic components and systems; and to provide basic tools required to perform this analysis efficiently.

Accepted as the standard reference work on modern pneumatic and compressed air engineering, the new edition of this handbook has been completely revised, extended and updated to provide essential up-to-date reference material for engineers, designers, consultants and users of fluid systems.

A reference for students and engineers in industry or manufacturing, providing a practical approach to the design, selection, sizing, and application of components for the entire pneumatic system. It presents information on the development of pneumatic systems, as well as coverage of actuators, fittings, conductors, valves, accumulators and receivers, and air motors and flow controls. It includes a wide range of illustrative examples, plus answers to commonly asked questions about pneumatic systems. Also included is a checklist of essential criteria to review when designing a pneumatic circuit. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

A prerequisite for designing pneumatic systems is the knowledge of the functions, parameters, and specifications of the components needed for the power part, control part, and compressed air network of the system. At first, a preliminary design should be attempted as per the requirement specifications. The initial design must then be refined if required. The parameters of the system must synchronize with the data in the manufacturer's domain for the optimal design. Further, it is essential to incorporate inbuilt safety into the system. The book explains the design aspects of pneumatic systems systematically to realize the necessities as mentioned above. The book also presents many typical examples of designing pneumatic systems, in the SI units, purely for educational or guidance purpose. The knowledge gained may be applied to develop more extensive industrial pneumatic systems. Many other fluid power topics are given in other textbooks under the fluid power educational series by the same author. A list of all the books is given at the end of the book.

Automation is quickly becoming the standard across nearly every area of manufacturing. Pneumatic actuators play a very important role in modern automation systems, yet until now there has been no book that takes into account the recent progress not only in the pneumatic systems themselves but also in the integration of mechatronics, electronic cont
