Abstract

Pneumatic telescopic cylinder is basically consist of cylindrical housing ,a central piston, hollow piston rod, concentric piston, piston rod, air opening in the concentric piston rod and air outlet at the exit end of the cylindrical wall. When the air enters the central piston, the piston rod and concentric piston will initiate the extension followed by other stages. During retraction, air will enter the outlet concentric piston causing concentric piston and piston to retract. When the air opening in concentric piston rod is aligned with the rod, the central piston and piston rod will also be retracted. The pneumatic telescopic cylinder is a compact apparatus which is inexpensive, easy to manufacture and simple construction. Therefore, in this project, pneumatic system is used instead of the hydraulic system. This project has been carried out in order to study the pneumatic telescopic cylinder arm operation which involves the movement of the cylinder when a variation of load is applied. The study is done by using theoretical method and experimental method. From the result gained, the movement which is the velocity of the cylinder is different according to the load applied.
