Ex No: 1 (a) DESIGN AND TESTING OF DOUBLE ACTING CYLINDER IN

MULTICYCLE OPERATION USING LIMIT SWITCH AND MEMORY

VALVE

AIM:
To design and test a double acting cylinder for multicycle operation using
a limit switch and memory valve

Components Required:
i. Double acting cylinder =1Nos
ii. FRL unit =1Nos
iii. 5/2 double pilot operated DCV =1Nos
iv. Flow control valve. =2Nos
v. Limit switch =2Nos
vi. Slide valve with Distributor =1Nos
vii. 5/2 way hand lever operated valve with detent =1Nos
viii. Connecting hose
Procedure

i. The components are placed as per the diagram

ii. The compressed air is connected to the service unit
iii. Air service unit is connected to the valve port 1 and limit switch
iv. The valve port 2 and 4 is connected to the double acting cylinder
through flow control valves
v. The piston rod of the cylinder is in retracted position initially
vi. The outlet port of limit switches are connected to the
corresponding pilot port of DCV
vii. The connections are verified with diagram
viii. The air pressure is setting is done and slide valve is now switched
to open condition to test the circuit.

Result
Thus the circuit for given operation is designed and tested
