Electrical Equations Explanation (Updated as of Nov 11th 2022)

Solid

F - Force (N)

m - Mass (kg)

a - Acceleration (m/s²)

g -Gravitational Acceleration

d - Distance

E - Electricity (J)

P - Power (W)

t - Time (sec)

F_g = ma

F_g = mg

E = F * d

P = E/t

Fluid

p - Pressure

f - Flow

A - Area

V - Volume

p = F/A

f = V/t = A*d/t

p * f = F/A * A*d/t = F*d/t = E/t

Electrical

U - Energy (V)

I - Current (Amps)

e - Charge of an Electron

C - Coulomb

F_e = e E_e

E_e = U/d

F_e = eU/d

E_e = Fd = eU/d * d = eU

C = (constant)*e

C = I*t

E_e = I *t * U

P = UI

Pneumatics Sources

• Fittings
  • Fittings supplier
• Air Tanks:
  • Andymark - Clippard and unbranded seemingly similar to coastpneumatics products, $14-$17 for ~500ml
• Possible Solenoids - need closer review still:
  • SMC SY3240-6 family - what we've always used in the past:
    • Automation Distribution
    • Motion Industries
    • VeX
  • Bimba / Pneumadyne
  • NITRA from Automation Direct
  • Mindman from Coast Pneumatics
  • Andymark has Mead brand
  • Explanation of various types of solenoids - they sell some too but they seem to be unsuitable for our application, but their explanation of how they work is pretty great!
• Relief Valve:
  • Andymark - Norgren kit valve, $40
  • McMaster - McMaster part 48435K714 is recommended in manual. $5.50 MAKE SURE TO ORDER 125PSI VERSION
• Shut off valve
  • McMaster shut off - roughly $5
• Regulator:
• Andymark - Norgren kit recommended regulator, $28
• KleenRite has Norgren kit regulator for $17
