Problems with pneumatic cylinders in the silo
Thread Content
Pneumatic rack cylinder. Controls the bin switching. Under normal conditions, it should rotate 90 degrees. But today, a master technician adjusted the cylinder to rotate 135 degrees in order to prevent mixture of the contents. He must have reversed the opening and closing process; it’s useless to raise objections – it will be reinstalled tomorrow. I just want to ask what the consequences might be in a situation like this. It’s fine to change the position of the gauge, right?
It is recommended that the original poster provide more detailed information about the equipment; many people who are not in the same industry as the poster may misunderstand it
It means that the mechanical part requires 135 degrees to meet the process requirements, but the cylinder stroke might not be sufficient
When the cylinder rotates 90 degrees for bypass operation, the valve disc is in the middle position, that is, half open; it closes completely when the rotation reaches 135 degrees. The issue is that several silos have 90-degree angles, which is why I’m asking this
