Basic Components of Electro-Pneumatic System and Electrical Circuit

Function of Linear Actuator

• Converts electrical energy into mechanical movement, enabling linear motion.
• Used to control the position or movement of other components in the system, such as valves or mechanical linkages.
• Provides smooth and precise control in applications requiring speed and accuracy.

Component for Controlling Compressed Air Flow

• The component responsible is the solenoid actuated directional control valve.
• It regulates the flow and direction of compressed air to actuate various mechanical components.
• Ensures proper operation within the system by directing air where needed.

Role of Solenoid Actuated Directional Control Valve

• Functions as an electromechanical switch that opens or closes pathways for compressed air.
• Controls the sequence of operations of actuators and other devices in the system.
• Provides automated movement by responding to electrical signals, enhancing system efficiency.

Component for Providing Electrical Power

• The essential component is the power supply unit or power source.
• It provides the necessary electricity to operate electrical components and control systems.
• Ensures reliable and continuous energy supply for optimal system performance.

Main Function of Electrical Relays

• Acts as a switch to control the flow of current in different parts of the system.
• Allows low power signals to switch higher power circuits, enabling automation and control.
• Increases system safety and reliability by isolating different electrical paths within the circuit.
