Automation Tip of the Month The Effects of Air Pressure Fluctuations on Circuit Timing In any industrial environment, it is very common to see fluctuations in compressed air pressure. This is often caused by extra demand on the system, generally seen in the form of a pressure drop. The amount of pressure drop is often unpredictable, because it depends on many factors. What most people don't know is that fluctuations in air pressure can actually create major problems with the timing of pneumatic systems. This is because most pneumatic valve designs are unbalanced: a decrease in pressure causes the valve to energize slower. In order to avoid this unpredictable and unreliable behavior, it is important to use valves that incorporate a balanced design, such as that of Mac Valves. By using a balanced design, you get reliable, consistent operation, regardless of the valve's inlet pressure, so normal fluctuations do not affect the timing of the pneumatic system. This is especially critical in high-speed applications, and where accurate and precise control is required. Click here to see more about the Mac Valves balanced design. Please contact your TSI Solutions sales engineer to learn more about how this important design feature can make your pneumatic systems more reliable, repeatable, and consistent.
