Explain the difference between a single-acting and double-acting pneumatic actuator.
Double-acting actuators are slower than single-acting actuators.
In a single-acting actuator, air pressure is applied to one side of the piston, while in a double-acting actuator, air pressure is applied to both sides of the piston.
In a single-acting actuator, air pressure is applied to both sides of the piston.
Single-acting actuators are more energy-efficient than double-acting actuators.
Draw and explain the symbol for a 3/2-way pneumatic valve.
A circle with two arrows pointing in opposite directions
A triangle with a line connecting two corners
The symbol for a 3/2-way pneumatic valve is a rectangle with an arrow pointing towards the outlet port and a diagonal line connecting the inlet and exhaust ports.
A square with a line connecting opposite corners
