What is Pneumatics?What is Pneumatics?
• Pneumatics is an application of fluid power. Pneumatics uses air, which is compressible. Most industrial pneumatic applications use pressures of about 40 to 100 pounds per square inch (psi)
• Advantages of pneumatics– The working fluid is very light in weight so supply hoses are not
heavy. – Because the working fluid is (mostly) just air, there is usually no
need for a return line for the working fluid and leaks of the working fluid tend not to be messy.
– Because air is compressible, the equipment is less likely to be damaged by shock. The air in pneumatics absorbs excessive forces due to sudden valve closures or shift, etc.

• What is torque?– By definition “Torque” is a turning or twisting force. Usually a
force on a moment arm (lever).
• What is torque?– By definition “Torque” is a turning or twisting force. Usually a
force on a moment arm (lever).
Torque is expressed in terms of Torque is expressed in terms of inch pounds or foot pounds for the inch pounds or foot pounds for the U.S. and Newton-meters for S.I. U.S. and Newton-meters for S.I. (international).(international).
It’s magnitude can be increased It’s magnitude can be increased by increasing the force or the by increasing the force or the length of the moment arm, or both.length of the moment arm, or both.
The Turning Force - TorqueThe Turning Force - Torque
Torque can be calculated by: T = F x M.A. Where: T = Torque in in. lbs. F = force in Pounds M.A. = Moment Arm in inches (“r” on above graphic)
WHEN ACCURACY MATTERS
ForceForce• The most common device used to generate the force for
making torque by actuators is compressed air working in a linear cylinder as shown below.
• This generates the linear force which, thru the lever arm, is converted to torque
WHEN ACCURACY MATTERS
Crank ArmCrank Arm• The “Crank Arm” uses a lever attached to the valve stem
which is “pushed” by the linear cylinder
The torque output from a crank arm:
Torque at center of Stroke
T = P x A x MA
Torque at beginning and end of stroke:
T = P x A x Cos. 45°x MAWhere: T = Torque in in. lbs.
P = Operating Pressure in psigMA = Moment Arm in InchesA = Area of the piston in square inches.

• Scotch Yoke actuators generate torque on the lever arm principle. The lever arm length is the
distance between the center of the pinion and the thrust pin bearing interface to the yoke..
Force is applied to the pinion thru air pressure on the piston and is converted to torque thru the lever arm length.

• Rack & Pinion actuators generate torque on the lever arm principle. – The lever arm length is the
distance between the center of the pinion and the gear tooth, as shown to the left.
– Force is applied to the rack thru air pressure on the integral piston/rack and is converted to torque thru the lever (moment) arm length; rotating the pinion.

without spring return • Leakage across piston is
prevented by a seal on the piston.
• Advantages
– Capable of High Thrust
– Stable at high DP
– Long travels are available
• Disadvantages
– Higher frictional loads than spring diaphragm actuators.
