#218 Design Image Training - 34: Designing a Pneumatically Driven System
Category : Drive mechanism design
December11, 2015
As mechanical systems require their mechanism drawings, it is necessary to prepare a design drawing for pneumatically/hydraulically driven systems. This section explains the design drawing of a pneumatically driven system.
- The basic rules of mechanical design are defined in the followings: JISB0001 Technical drawings for mechanical engineering, JISB0002-1, 2, 3 Technical drawings - Screw threads and threaded parts, and JISB0401-2 ISO system of limits and fits.
- In the same manner, the basic rules of pneumatically/hydraulically driven systems are defined in the followings: JISB0125-1: Fluid power systems and components - Graphic symbols and circuit diagrams - Part 1: Graphic symbols, JISB0125-2: Fluid power systems and components - Graphic symbols and circuit diagrams - Part 2: Circuit diagrams, and JISB0142: Fluid power systems and components - Vocabulary.
- In the basic rules of mechanical design, the following design rules have been determined: (1) type and thickness of a line and (2) simplified notation system of each mechanical component (machine element), such as springs, screws, and shafts. In the process of designing a pneumatically driven system as well, the followings have been defined: (1) type and thickness of a line and (2) simplified notation system of parts comprising of each pneumatic system (refer to Vol.30 and 31).
- [Fig.1] is an example of a design drawing on a pneumatically driven system installed in the color-ball clamp mechanical component of the Bingo Machine. The part number (1) is a filter regulator, (2) is an accumulator, and (3) is a speed control valve. The other components include a single-acting cylinder and a silencer.
- Since this design drawing includes parts specifications, the drawing also illustrates components, specifications, piping layout, open/close status of the chuck parts along with the positional relationship of the vertical chuck axis.
