    Daniel Andres Montoya Espinosa
    The document contains 6 questions regarding fluid automation and mechatronic engineering. It asks the examinee to explain the construction and applications of a bellows actuator, the function of a shuttle valve and delay-off timer, the working principle of a reed limit switch, and how a pneumatic valve can be electrically actuated. It also provides flow rate data for a pneumatic valve and asks the examinee to calculate the valve's conductance, critical ratio, nominal flow rate, and coefficient based on the data. Finally, it provides additional data to calculate the velocity, inlet/outlet times, and cycle rate of a double-acting cylinder controlled by the pneumatic valve.

    Fluid Automation (Mechatronic Engineering)

    Example of exam 6
    Name: Surname: Id. number:

    1. Briefly explain the construction of the bellows actuator. What are its applications?
    2. Explain the function of a shuttle valve. Give an application of shuttle valve.
    3. Explain the function of a delay-off timer with a suitable circuit (electropneumatics).
    4. Explain the working principle of a reed limit switch.
    5. Briefly explain how a pneumatic valve can be electrically actuated.
    6. Calculations
    The following data refer to a test on the flow rate of a pneumatic valve. Supply (P1) and downstream
    (P2) absolute pressure are referred. Flow rate is in standard reference conditions (ANR). During the
    test supply pressure P1 is constant, temperature is equal to 20°C

    P1 = 7 (bar) P2 (bar) Q (l/min ANR)


    6.8 100
    6.6 330
    6.0 460
    5.0 600
    4.5 660
    3.5 720
    3.0 740
    2.0 750
    1.6 750

    P1 = 5 (bar) P2 (bar) Q (l/min ANR)


    4.5 270
    4.0 380
    3.5 440
    3.0 490
    2.5 520
    2.0 530
    1.5 540
    1.2 540
    Calculate:

    ⋅ Conductance C of the valve – (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions);

    ⋅ Critical ratio b of the valve (average value between the two test conditions);

    ⋅ Nominal flow rate Qn of the valve (l/s ANR);

    ⋅ Valve coefficient Cv (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions).

    The pneumatic valve above controls the extension and retraction of a cylinder. The cylinder is a
    double acting type with double rod. Neglecting the pressure drop between the valve and the
    cylinder, the downstream pressure P2 of the valve can be considered equal to the pressure inside
    the cylinder chambers. With P1 = 5 bar and ∆P= 2 bar (across the valve) calculate:

    ⋅ w, velocity of the rod (m/s);

    ⋅ t IN (s);

    ⋅ t OUT (s);

    ⋅ nc, number of cycles of the cylinder, per unit time (cycle/min).


    Data: D= 80 mm (cylinder barrel diameter), d= 22 mm (rod diameter), s= 250 mm (cylinder stroke).
