#FLUIDSIM #PNEUMATIK_HYDROLIK
Fluid Simulator (fluid sim) adalah salah satu software
komputer untuk demo simulasi aliran fluida khususnya untuk
aliran angin. Software ini berjalan dalam sistem windows.
Fluid simulation pneumatik ini dikembangkan oleh Festo
Didactic, Jerman.

Pneumatic adalah..
Pneumatik (bahasa Yunani: πνευματικός, pneumatikos) berasal dari
kata dasar "pneu" yang berarti udara tekan dan "matik" yang
berarti ilmu atau hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan sesuatu; sehingga arti
lengkap pneumatik adalah ilmu/hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan udara
bertekanan.
Pneumatik merupakan teori atau pengetahuan tentang udara yang
bergerak, keadaan-keadaan keseimbangan udara dan syarat-syarat
keseimbang-an. Orang pertama yang dikenal dengan pasti telah
menggunakan alat pneumatik adalah orang Yunani bernama Ktesibio.
Dengan demikian istilah pneumatik berasal dari Yunani kuno
yaitu pneuma yang artinya hembusan (tiupan). Bahkan dari ilmu filsafat
atau secara philosophi istilah pneuma dapat diartikan sebagai nyawa.
Dengan kata lain pneumatik berarti mempelajari tentang gerakan angin
(udara) yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menghasilkan tenaga dan
kecepatan.

Symbols
The standard for fluid power symbols is ISO 1219-1. This is a set of basic shapes
and rules for the construction of fluid power symbols
Cylinders can be drawn to show their extreme or intermediate positions of
stroke and any length above their width
Valves show all states in the one symbol. The prevailing state is shown with the
port connections
Other components are single state symbols

A valve function is known by a pair of numbers e.g. 3/2. This indicates the valve
has 3 main ports and 2 states
The valve symbol shows both of the states
Port numbering is to CETOP RP68P and shows:
when the valve is operated at the 12 end port 1 is connected to port 2

2/2 Valve actuator control
A pair of the most basic of all valve
types the 2/2 can be used to control
a single acting cylinder
The normally closed position of the
valve is produced by the spring
The operated position is produced
by the push button
2 1
One valve admits air the other valve 12 10 12 10
exhausts it 1 2
OUT IN
35 29/11/2022
2/2 Valve actuator control
The button marked OUT is pushed
to operate the valve
Air is connected to the cylinder and
it outstrokes
Air cannot escape to atmosphere
through the valve marked IN as this
is closed
2 1
The air at atmospheric pressure in 12 10 12 10
the front of the cylinder vents 1 2
through the breather port OUT IN
36 29/11/2022
2/2 Valve actuator control
The push button of the valve marked
OUT is released and it returns to a
normal closed position
Air is now trapped in the system and
provided there are no leaks the
piston rod will stay in the
outstroked position
2 1
If the load increases beyond the 12 10 12 10
force exerted by the air the piston
1 2
rod will start to move in OUT IN
37 29/11/2022
2/2 Valve actuator control
The button marked IN is pushed to
operate the valve
Air escapes and the piston rod
moves to the instroked position
The push button must be held
operated until the piston rod is fully
in
2 1
Atmospheric air will be drawn in to 12 10 12 10
the front of the cylinder through the 1 2
vent port OUT IN
38 29/11/2022
2/2 Valve actuator control
If the button marked IN is released
the piston rod will remain in the
instroked position
Any leaks in the installation can
cause the piston rod to creep

2/2 Valve actuator control
To control the speed of the piston
rod, flow restrictors are placed in
the pipes close to each of the valves.
Adjustment of the restrictors will
slow down the flow rate thereby
giving independent outstroke and
instroke speed control

slow speeds

With any compressed air system
that intentionally traps air, the
potential hazard of this must be
recognised
Unintended release or application of
pressure can give rise to unexpected
movement of the piston rod

A pressure indicator or gauge must 12 10 12 10
be fitted to warn of the presence of

3/2 valve actuator control
To generally slow the cylinder speed
an adjustable
bi-directional flow regulator or
fixed restrictor can be used
The flow regulator setting will be a
compromise as the ideal outstroke
speed may not produce the desired
results for the instroke speed

3/2 valve actuator control
To control the outstroke speed of a
single acting cylinder without
controlling the instroke speed, a
uni-directional flow regulator is
used
The flow into the cylinder closes the
non return valve and can only pass
through the adjustable restrictor
2
By adjusting the restrictor the 12 10
outstroke speed of the cylinder can
3 1
be set

For independent speed control in
each direction two flow regulators
are required
Installed in opposite directions to
each other

Sequence solution methods
The main solutions to solving Shift register circuits are similar to
sequences are: cascade but use one logic valve for
Cascade (pneumatic) every step
Shift register (pneumatic) Electro-pneumatic circuits use
Electro-pneumatic solenoid valves and electro-
PLC (Programmable logic mechanical relays
controller) PLC. The standard solution for
Cascade circuits provide a standard medium to complex sequential
method of solving any sequence. It systems (except where electrical
uses a minimum of additional logic equipment cannot be used)
hardware (one logic valve per
group of sequential steps)
72 29/11/2022
Cascade two group
The A+ B+ B- A- circuit is solved Because only one group output is
by the two group cascade method available at a time it is not possible
The sequence is divided at the point to have opposed signals
where B immediately returns A standard 5/2 double pressure
