Available as a free download, the e-book also provides detailed information about designing pneumatic systems. It includes stories about AutomationDirect customers that used pneumatics in various DIY home applications and manufacturing.
Practical topics in the e-book include pneumatic circuit symbols, air preparation, actuator and cylinder basics, specifying tubing and fittings, and system-design considerations. Component capabilities, controls, and efficiency are addressed as well. The book also goes beyond strictly pneumatics with discussion of electro-pneumatic systems.
