Because they use the compressible medium of air, pneumatic systems are difficult to design and in many cases the control elements end up oversized as it takes significant amounts of time and effort to perform the calculations for the physical processes associated with the medium. For that reason, pneumatic applications often turn to empirical values instead. This course looks at the fundamental aspects and bases of calculation involved in dimensioning key pneumatic components correctly. It outlines the guidelines and empirical values that have proven to work as reliable tools in practical scenarios and explains the basic principles behind creating pneumatic circuit diagrams.weiterlesen
