  1. Introduction to a Pneumatic System Grade 6 Clip art from: www.fotosearch.com/comp/ART/ART197/TVL005.jpg

  2. ObjectivesIn this introduction: • You will develop an understanding of how pneumatics systems work. • You will identify the parts of a pneumatic system.

  3. Pneumatics in our World • Pneumatics use compressed air to push, pull, lift, open and close. • Pneumatics are often used to move materials and position pieces for manufacturing. Videoclip from: Discovering Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumatics at Work in Your World www.fpef.org/video.html

  4. Pneumatics - Compressed Air • Air is compressed by a pump. • When you push on the handle of a bicycle pump, for example, you are compressing the air and forcing it into a smaller space. • Click here to experiment with compressed air Continue

  5. Exploring Compressed Air Let’s look at the parts of a pneumatic system. When you push on the pump handle, you are compressing air and giving it energy. The compressed air is sent to the cylinder to make the piston and the pistonrod move. The valve controls the direction of the compressed air. Are you ready to test your knowledge? Continue

  6. Test Your Knowledge Air is compressed by a pump. Click on the pump.

  7. Test Your Knowledge The air from the pump moves through the cylinder to push or pull the piston and piston rod. Click on the cylinder, piston, and piston rod.

  8. Test Your Knowledge The valve controls the direction of the compressed air. Click on the valve.

  9. Correct! When you push on the pump handle, you are compressing air and giving it energy. Continue

  10. Sorry! Try Again! You clicked on the valve. The valve controls the direction of the compressed air.

  11. Sorry! Try Again! You clicked on the cylinder, piston, and piston road The compressed air is sent to the cylinder to make the piston and the pistonrod move.

  12. Sorry! Try Again! You clicked on the valve. The valve controls the direction of the compressed air.

  13. Sorry! Try Again! You clicked on the pump. When you push on the pump handle, you are compressing air and giving it energy.

  14. Correct! The compressed air is sent to the cylinder to make the piston and the pistonrod move. Continue
