All pneumatic systems start with an aircompressor. This compressor is usually rigged with a electronic pressure switch, which shuts the compressor off once the system has reached pressure. The compressor uses an accumulator to store additional compressed air in reserve in case the amount of air required by the system exceeds the compressor's output. Both of these components are connected to an air regulator, which reduces the combined compressor and accumulator output pressure to the desired psi (usually pressure gauges are placed before and after the regulator). This resulting air feed is then connected to a series of mechanical or electric solenoids (air valves). Two lines run out of each solenoid, each connects to an opposite side of the pneumatic piston (s) that the solenoid controls. When triggered, the solenoids direct the air into the front or back of the piston depending on the desired direction of the piston. Return air from the opposite side of the piston is usually vented. This results in the pneumatic pistons emitting a hissing sound whenever they are moved.

What are Major components of schematic diagram of pneumatics?

The major components of a schematic diagram of pneumatics include compressors, which generate compressed air; valves that control the flow and direction of air; actuators such as cylinders that convert air pressure into mechanical motion; and sensors that monitor system performance. Additionally, filters and regulators are included to ensure clean, controlled air supply. Each component is represented by standardized symbols to provide clarity and facilitate understanding of the system's operation.
