Getting started with Pneumatics the Basics

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=Uz9xXEXzkxQ

For a customer project I need to use pressurised air and pneumatic actuators/cylinders. Having little experience on the topic I did what I usually do - I read up and look for good videos that explain what I'll need. I couldn't find a good introductory video covering what you need to build a pneumatic setup, so I figured I'd make one myself that explain the questions I had a few months ago. • People use Pneumatics for so many things like air tools and prop making, but in my case I'm making an auto-loading air cannon shooting soft balls :) • PS: if you need a way to trigger your pneumatics, check out the millimeter radar sensor I'm now making! It's perfect for the job https://maketronics.no/radsense-1/ • I've also gotten requests to add links to the parts that I use. Below are some Amazon affiliate links that give me a cent (or maybe even two) if you pick up parts via these. Remember to buy the same diameter of all things. • 1/8 3/2 Solenoid valve for 12V: https://amzn.to/3h7kTGF • 1/8 5/2 way Solenoid valve 12V https://amzn.to/37CoXvt (not exact same, but similar) • 1/8 thread connectors for 1/4 Inch Tube https://amzn.to/3pgBevH • 1/4 Pneumatic tube https://amzn.to/34z9N8j • Here I'm suggesting parts using the smaller 1/8 threads with 1/4 tube, but most stores will have other sizes as well. In addition to the above, you'll need several connectors for going up/down in size, but I can't really suggest much more as that would depend on your setup and if you're in a metric/imperial country. The parts above should get you going anyway? • 0:00 Intro • 1:07 Selecting a compressor • 4:13 Connectors and tubing • 7:49 Valves and cylinders • 10:02 Solving leaks • 11:01 Single acting cylinder with 3/2 Pneumatic valve • 11:49 Double acting cylinder with 5/2 Pneumatic valve
