EFFECTS OF UNPLANNED FACTORS AIR LEAKAGES, FRICTION AND PRESSURE DROP ON CYLINDER SPEED
In industrial automation, pneumatic offers several advantages compared to hydraulic, electrical and electronic and other technologies; foremost of these is speed. But this advantage is threatened by various factors. Pressure, diameter of tubing, size of fittings, bore size of cylinder, and weight of the load are factors that can be controlled. However, uncontrolled variables may slow down the cylinder such as drops in the air pressure, presence of leakages, and increase in the friction between the piston and cylinder barrel. Through factorial experiment and multivariate analyses, it was proven that these three variables, normally considered as insignificant determinants of cylinder speed, proved to be otherwise. It was shown that higher levels of these factors result to slower cylinder.
