etc., of these sources, hydraulics form an attractive medium. Automation plays an
important role in automobile. Nowadays almost all the automobile vehicle is being
atomized in order to product the human being. The automobile vehicle is being atomized
for the following reasons:
To achieve high safety
To high responsibility

2. LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 PNEUMATICS:
The word pneuma comes from Greek and means breather wind. The word
pneumatics is the study of air movement and its phenomena is derived from the word
pneuma. Today pneumatics is mainly understood to means the application of air as a
working medium in industry especially the driving and controlling of machines and
equipment.
Pneumatics has for some considerable time between used for carrying out the
simplest mechanical tasks in more recent times has played a more important role in the
development of pneumatic technology for automation.
Pneumatic systems operate on a supply of compressed air which must be made
available in sufficient quantity and at a pressure to suit the capacity of the system. When
the pneumatic system is being adopted for the first time, however it wills indeed the
necessary to deal with the question of compressed air supply.
The key part of any facility for supply of compressed air is by means using
reciprocating compressor. A compressor is a machine that takes in air, gas at a certain
pressure and delivered the air at a high pressure.
Compressor capacity is the actual quantity of air compressed and delivered and the
volume expressed is that of the air at intake conditions namely at atmosphere pressure
and normal ambient temperature.
The compressibility of the air was first investigated by Robert Boyle in 1962 and
that found that the product of pressure and volume of a particular quantity of gas.
The usual written as
PV = C
(or) PV = P2V2
In this equation the pressure is the absolute pressured which for free is about 14.7
Psi and is of courage capable of maintaining a column of mercury, nearly 30 inches high
in an ordinary barometer. Any gas can be used in pneumatic system but air is the mostly
used system now a days.
2.2 SELECTION OF PNEUMATICS:
Mechanization is broadly defined as the replacement of manual effort by
mechanical power. Pneumatic is an attractive medium for low cost mechanization
particularly for sequential (or) repetitive operations. Many factories and plants already
have a compressed air system, which is capable of providing the power (or) energy
requirements and the control system (although equally pneumatic control systems may be
economic and can be advantageously applied to other forms of power).
The main advantage of an all pneumatic system are usually economic and
simplicity the latter reducing maintenance to a low level. It can also have out standing
advantages in terms of safety.
2.3 PRODUCTION OF COMPRESSED AIR:
Pneumatic systems operate on a supply of compressed air, which must be made
available. In sufficient quantity and at a pressure to suit the capacity of the system. When
pneumatic system is being adopted for the first time, however it wills indeed the
necessary to deal with the question of compressed air supply.
The key part of any facility for supply of compressed air is by means using
reciprocating compressor. A compressor is a machine that takes in air, gas at a certain
pressure and delivered the air at a high pressure.
Compressor capacity is the actual quantity of air compressed and delivered and the
volume expressed is that of the air at intake conditions namely at atmosphere pressure
and normal ambient temperature. Clean condition of the suction air is one of the factors,
which decides the life of a compressor. Warm and moist suction air will result in

4.1 MAJOR PARTS:
The major parts PNEUMATIC THREE AXIS MODERN TIPPER are described
below:
Air compressor
Direction Control Valve
Cylinder
Connecting hoses
Flow control valve
Bearing with bearing cap
Wheel arrangement
Vehicle model frame
Rotating Plates
4.1.1AIR COMPRESSOR:
The main function of the air compressor is to compress the air up to the required
pressure. The maximum capacity of the compressor is 10105 to 12 105 N/m2. This is a
two stages or two-cylinder reciprocating air compressor. The two cylinders are for low
and high compression. The air pressure is measured at various places by the use of
pressure gauges. V-belt and pulley are used to drive the compressor.
Compressors can be broadly classifieds into two groups. They are:
Positive Displacement Compressor
Dynamic Compressors
Compressor:-
4.1.3.2Need of Valves:
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVES To control the to and fro motion of
cylinder, the fluid energy has to be regulated, controlled and reversed with a
predetermined sequence in a pneumatic system.
Similarly one may have to control the quantity of pressure and flow rate to
generate the desired level of force and speed of actuators. To achieve these functions,
valves are used. Valves are fluid power elements used for controlling and regulating the
working medium.
The main functions of the valves are:
Start and stop the fluid energy
Control the direction of flow of compressed air
Control the flow rate of the fluid
Control the pressure rating of the fluid
Although various types of valves are available, they are mainly classified as below:
Direction control valves
Direction control check valves
Flow control valves
Pressure control valves
The main purpose of a valve in a pneumatic circuit is to control outputs. Valves
can be divided into a number of groups according to what they control.
4.1.3.3 Directional control valves:
Directional control valve on the receipt of some external signal, which might be
mechanical, electrical or a fluid pressure pilot signal, charges the direction of or stops, or
starts the flow of fluid in some part of the pneumatic/hydraulic circuit.
10
11
Directional control valve:Directional control valves are one of the most fundamental parts in hydraulic
machinery as well and pneumatic machinery. They allow fluid flow into different
paths from one or more sources. They usually consist of a spool inside a cylinder
which is mechanically or electrically controlled. The movement of the spool
restricts or permits the flow, thus it controls the fluid flow.
Nomenclature:The spool (sliding type) consists of lands and grooves.The lands block oil flow
through the valve body. The grooves allow oil or gas to flow around the spool and
12
through the valve body. There are two fundamental positions of directional control
valve namely normal positionwhere valve returns on removal of actuating force
and other is working position which is position of a valve when actuating force is
applied. There is another class of valves with 3 or more position that can be spring
centered with 2 working position and a normal position.
13
Pneumatic Cylinder:-
Resources:14
Pneumatic cylinders are widely used to generate force and motion on a vast range
of OEM equipment. They can move products directly or indirectly by pushing,
pulling, lifting, lowering, or rotating, and can keep them from moving by
clamping them in place.
15
16
Cylinders have guide rods and guide blocks mounted parallel to the piston rod, or
dual piston rods. They prevent the piston from rotating and provide precise,
controlled linear motion especially when the unit is subject to high side loads.
In such cases, the guides reduce rod and piston bending and uneven seal wear.
They are recommended in applications with sizeable offset loads or require that
the load be guided, for example, down a conveyor.
Rack-and-pinion:Units convert a cylinders linear motion to angular rotation that can exceed 360.
The rotary actuators with the rack mounted on the rod are often used in
process industries to operate quarter-turn valves.In addition to rod-type cylinders,
other designs included.
Bellows:Are durable, single-acting actuators with flexible, reinforced-elastomeric walls
and metal end plates. They extend when inflated and can generate high forces,
thanks to their large diameters. A cylindrical shape lets them bend in any direction,
making them useful where load direction might curve. Note that external restraints
should be used to limit maximum extension and compression. Unrestrained
extension can blow off the end plate, and exhaust without restraint can let the load
crush the sidewalls.
Rodless cylinders, as the name implies, have no rod extending through the end
caps. Instead, an external carriage slides back and forth on the tube. The load
mounts on this carriage. In many designs, an internal piston is mechanically
connected to the carriage through a sealed longitudinal slot in the cylinder wall.
Long sealing strips inside and outside the cylinder tube prevent air leaks and dust
and dirt ingression. Other variations include cable-and-pulley arrangements and
magnetically coupled pistons and carriages.
17
4.1.5 SEALS:
4.1.5.1 Air Seal:
Air seal is used to prevent the leakage of air pressure from the cylinder. Normally
it is made up of neoprene rubber. If there are any air leakages in the system, it will reduce
the efficiency.
4.1.5.2Wiper Seal:
Wiper seal is provided at the entrance of the cylinder to avoid dust materials from
the environment. It is made up of neoprene rubber.
4.1.5.3O Ring:
The O rings are fitted into the grooves of piston to maintain perfect seal between
the piston and the cylinder wall. They are mostly made up of neoprene rubber.

4.1.7 CONNECTORS:
In our system there are two types of connectors used; one is the hose connector and
the other is the reducer. Hose connectors normally comprise an adapter (connector) hose
nipple and cap nut. These types of connectors are made up of brass or Aliminium or
hardened steel.
Reducers are used to provide inter connection between two pipes or hoses of
different sizes. They may be fitted straight, tee, V or other configurations. These
reducers are made up of gunmetal or other materials like hardened steel etc.
4.1.8 FLOW CONTROL VALVE:
In any fluid power circuit, flow control valve is used to control the speed of the
actuator. The floe control can be achieved By varying the area of flow through which the
air in passing.
When area is increased, more quantity of air will be sent to actuator as a result its
speed will increase. If the quantity of air entering into the actuator is reduced, the speed
of the actuator is reduced.
19
The rotating plates are fixed in the bottom the trailer body, so that the cylinder will
rotates in the required side. The plates are made up of mild steel materials.

5. BATTERY
5.1 INTRODUCTION:
In isolated systems away from the grid, batteries are used for storage of excess
solar energy converted into electrical energy. The only exceptions are isolated sunshine
load such as irrigation pumps or drinking water supplies for storage. In fact for small
units with output less than one kilowatt. Batteries seem to be the only technically and
economically available storage means. Since both the photo-voltaic system and batteries
are high in capital costs. It is necessary that the overall system be optimized with respect
to available energy and local demand pattern. To be economically attractive the storage
of solar electricity requires a battery with a particular combination of properties:
(1)
Low cost
(2)
Long life
(3)
High reliability
(4)
(5)
Low discharge
(6)
Minimum maintenance
(A)
(B)
We use lead acid battery for storing the electrical energy from the solar panel for
lighting the street and so about the lead acid cells are explained below.
22
active material in the positive plate is changed to lead peroxide (pbo). The negative
electrode is spongy lead (pb).
23
24
Automobile batteries are usually shipped dry from the manufacturer. The
electrolyte is put in at the time of installation, and then the battery is charged to from the
plates. With maintenance-free batteries, little or no water need be added in normal
service. Some types are sealed, except for a pressure vent, without provision for adding
water.
The construction parts of battery are shown in figure (6).
5.4 CHEMICAL ACTION:
Sulfuric acid is a combination of hydrogen and sulfate ions. When the cell
discharges, lead peroxide from the positive electrode combines with hydrogen ions to
form water and with sulfate ions to form lead sulfate. Combining lead on the negative
plate with sulfate ions also produces he sulfate. There fore, the net result of discharge is
to produce more water, which dilutes the electrolyte, and to form lead sulfate on the
plates.
As the discharge continues, the sulfate fills the pores of the grids, retarding
circulation of acid in the active material. Lead sulfate is the powder often seen on the
outside terminals of old batteries. When the combination of weak electrolyte and
sulfating on the plate lowers the output of the battery, charging is necessary.
On charge, the external D.C. source reverses the current in the battery. The
reversed direction of ions flows in the electrolyte result in a reversal of the chemical
reactions. Now the lead sulfates on the positive plate reactive with the water and sulfate
ions to produce lead peroxide and sulfuric acid. This action re-forms the positive plates
and makes the electrolyte stronger by adding sulfuric acid.
At the same time, charging enables the lead sulfate on the negative plate to react
with hydrogen ions; this also forms sulfuric acid while reforming lead on the negative
plate to react with hydrogen ions; this also forms currents can restore the cell to full
output, with lead peroxide on the positive plates, spongy lead on the negative plate, and
the required concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte.
25
2pbSO + 2HO
Discharge
26
27
On discharge, the pb and pbo combine with the SO ions at the left side of the
equation to form lead sulfate (pbSO) and water (HO) at the right side of the equation.
One battery consists of 6 cell, each have an output voltage of 2.1V, which are connected
in series to get an voltage of 12V and the same 12V battery is connected in series, to get
an 24 V battery. They are placed in the water proof iron casing box.
5.5 CARING FOR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES:
Always use extreme caution when handling batteries and electrolyte. Wear gloves,
goggles and old clothes. Battery acid will burn skin and eyes and destroy cotton and
wool clothing.
The quickest way of ruin lead-acid batteries is to discharge them deeply and leave
them stand dead for an extended period of time. When they discharge, there is a
chemical change in the positive plates of the battery. They change from lead oxide when
charge out lead sulfate when discharged. If they remain in the lead Sulfate State for a few
days, some part of the plate dose not returns to lead oxide when the battery is recharged.
If the battery remains discharge longer, a greater amount of the positive plate will remain
lead sulfate. The parts of the plates that become sulfate no longer store energy.
Batteries that are deeply discharged, and then charged partially on a regular basis can fail
in less then one year. Check your batteries on a regular basis to be sure they are getting
charged. Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of your lead acid batteries. If
batteries are cycled very deeply and then recharged quickly, the specific gravity reading
will be lower than it should because the electrolyte at the top of the battery may not have
mixed with the charged electrolyte.
Check the electrolyte level in the wet-cell batteries at the least four times a year
and top each cell of with distilled water. Do not add water to discharged batteries.
Electrolyte is absorbed when batteries are very discharged. If you add water at this time,
and then recharge the battery, electrolyte will overflow and make a mess.
28
Keep the top of your batteries clean and check that cables are tight. Do not tighten
or remove cables while charging or discharging. Any spark around batteries can cause a
hydrogen explosion inside, and ruin one of the cells, and you.
On charge, with reverse current through the electrolyte, the chemical action is
reversed. Then the pb ions from the lead sulfate on the right side of the equation re-form
the lead and lead peroxide electrodes. Also the SO ions combine with H ions from the
water to produce more sulfuric acid at the left side of the equation.
5.6 CURRENT RATINGS:
Lead-acid batteries are generally rated in terms of how much discharge currents
they can supply for a specified period of time; the output voltage must be maintained
above a minimum level, which is 1.5 to 1.8V per cell. A common rating is ampere-hours
(A.h.) based on a specific discharge time, which is often 8h. Typical values for
automobile batteries are 100 to 300 A.h.
As an example, a 200 A.h battery can supply a load current of 200/8 or 25A, used
on 8h discharge. The battery can supply less current for a longer time or more current for
a shorter time. Automobile batteries may be rated for cold cranking power, which is
related to the job of starting the engine. A typical rating is 450A for 30s at a temperature
of 0 degree F.
Note that the ampere-hour unit specifies coulombs of charge. For instance, 200
A.h. corresponds to 200A*3600s (1h=3600s). the equals 720,000 A.S, or coulombs. One
ampere-second is equal to one coulomb. Then the charge equals 720,000 or 7.2*10^5C.
To put this much charge back into the battery would require 20 hours with a charging
current of 10A.
The ratings for lead-acid batteries are given for a temperature range of 77 to 80F.
Higher temperature increase the chemical reaction, but operation above 110F shortens
the battery life.
29
Low temperatures reduce the current capacity and voltage output. The amperehour capacity is reduced approximately 0.75% for each decreases of 1 F below normal
temperature rating. At 0F the available output is only 60 % of the ampere-hour battery
rating. In cold weather, therefore, it is very important to have an automobile battery unto
full charge. In addition, the electrolyte freezes more easily when diluted by water in the
discharged condition.
5.8 CHARGING THE LEAD-ACID BATERY:
The requirements are illustrated in figure. An external D.C. voltage source is
necessary to produce current in one direction. Also, the charging voltage must be more
than the battery e.m.f.
Approximately 2.5 per cell are enough to over the cell e.m.f. so that the charging
voltage can produce current opposite to the direction of discharge current. Note that the
reversal of current is obtained just by connecting the battery VB and charging source VG
with + to + and to-, as shown in figure. The charging current is reversed because the
battery effectively becomes a load resistance for VG when it higher than VB. In this
example, the net voltage available to produce charging currents is 15-12=3V. A
commercial charger for automobile batteries is essentially a D.C. power supply, rectifying
input from the AC power line to provide D.C. output for charging batteries.
Float charging refers to a method in which the charger and the battery are always
connected to each other for supplying current to the load. In figure the charger provides
current for the load and the current necessary to keep the battery fully charged. The
battery here is an auxiliary source for D.C. power.
It may be of interest to note that an automobile battery is in a floating-charge
circuit. The battery charger is an AC generator or alternator with rectifier diodes, driver
by a belt from the engine. When you start the car, the battery supplies the cranking
power. Once the engine is running, the alternator charges he battery. It is not necessary
for the car to be moving. A voltage regulator is used in this system to maintain the output
at approximately 13 to 15 V.
30
The constant voltage of 24V comes from the solar panel controlled by the charge
controller so for storing this energy we need a 24V battery so two 12V battery are
connected in series. It is a good idea to do an equalizing charge when some cells show a
variation of 0.05 specific gravity from each other. This is a long steady overcharge,
bringing the battery to a gassing or bubbling state. Do not equalize sealed or gel type
batteries. With proper care, lead-acid batteries will have a long service life and work very
well in almost any power system. Unfortunately, with poor treatment lead-acid battery
life will be very short.

CHAPTER-6
6. D.C MOTOR
6.1 INTRODUCTION:
The electrical motor is an instrument, which converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy. According to faradays law of Electro magnetic induction, when a
current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force
whose direction is given by Flemings left hand rule.
Constructional a dc generator and a dc motor are identical. The same dc machine
can be used as a generator or as a motor. When a generator is in operation, it is driven
mechanically and develops a voltage. The voltage is capable of sending current through
the load resistance. While motor action a torque is developed.
The torque can produce mechanical rotation. Motors are classified as series
wound, shunt wound motors.
6.2 Principles of operation:
The basic principle of Motor action lies in a sample sketch.
Movement of
Conductor
Magnetic flux
current carrying
Conductor
32
The motor runs according to the principle of Flemings left hand rule. When a
current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field is produced to move the
conductor away from the magnetic field.
The conductor carrying current to North and South poles is being removed. In the
above stated two conditions there is no movement of the conductors. Whenever a current
carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field. The field due to the current in the
conductor but opposes the main field below the conductor. As a result the flux density
below the conductor. It is found that a force acts on the conductor to push the conductor
downwards.
If the current in the conductor is reversed, the strengthening of the flux lines
occurs below the conductor, and the conductor will be pushed upwards.
As stated above the coil side A will be forced to move downwards, where as the
coil side B will be forced to move upwards. The forces acting on the coil sides A and B
will be the same coil magnitudes, but their directions will be opposite to one another. In
DC machines coils are wound on the armature core, which is supported by the bearings,
enhances rotation of the armature. The commutator periodically reverses the direction of
current flow through the armature. Thus the armature rotates continuously.
33
An electric motor is all about magnets and magnetism: a motor uses magnets to
create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know about the fundamental
law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel.
So if you have 2 bar magnets with their ends marked north and south, then the
North end of one magnet will attract the South end of the other. On the other hand, the
North end of one magnet will repel the North end of the other (and similarly south will
repel south). Inside an electric motor these attracting and repelling forces create rotational
motion.
In the diagram above and below you can see two magnets in the motor, the
armature (or rotor) is an electromagnet, while the field magnet is a permanent magnet
(the field magnet could be an electromagnet as well, but in most small motors it is not to
save power).
6.3 Electromagnets and Motors:
To understand how an electric motor works, the key is to understand how the
electromagnet works. An electromagnet is the basis of an electric motor. You can
understand how things work in the motor by imagining the following scenario.
Say that you created a simple electromagnet by wrapping 100 loops of wire
around a nail and connecting it to a battery. The nail would become a magnet and have a
North and South pole while the battery is connected. Now say that you take your nail
electromagnet, run an axle through the middle of it, and you suspended it in the middle of
a horseshoe magnet as shown in the figure below.
If you were to attach a battery to the electromagnet so that the North end of the
nail appeared as shown, the basic law of magnetism tells you what would happen:
34
The North end of the electromagnet would be repelled from the north end of the
horseshoe magnet and attracted to the south end of the horseshoe magnet.
The South end of the electromagnet would be repelled in a similar way. The nail
would move about half a turn and then stop in the position shown.
You can see that this half-turn of motion is simple and obvious because of
the way magnets naturally attract and repel one another. The key to an electric motor is to
then go one step further so that, at the moment that this half-turn of motion completes, the
field of the electromagnet flips.
The flip causes the electromagnet to complete another half-turn of motion. You
flip the magnetic field simply by changing the direction of the electrons flowing in the
wire (you do that by flipping the battery over). If the field of the electromagnet flipped at
just the right moment at the end of each half-turn of motion, the electric motor would
spin freely.
The Armature:
The armature takes the place of the nail in an electric motor. The armature is an
electromagnet made by coiling thin wire around two or more poles of a metal core. The
armature has an axle, and the commutator is attached to the axle. In the diagram above
you can see three different views of the same armature: front, side and end-on. In the endon view the winding is eliminated to make the commutator more obvious. You can see
that the commutator is simply a pair of plates attached to the axle. These plates provide
the two connections for the coil of the electromagnet.
35
In this figure, the armature winding has been left out so that it is easier to see the
commutator in action. The key thing to notice is that as the armature passes through the
horizontal position, the poles of the electromagnet flip.
Because of the flip, the North pole of the electromagnet is always above the axle
so it can repel the field magnet's North pole and attract the field magnet's South pole.
If you ever take apart an electric motor you will find that it contains the same
pieces described above: two small permanent magnets, a commutator, two brushes and an
36
electromagnet made by winding wire around a piece of metal. Almost always, however,
the rotor will have three poles rather than the two poles as shown in this article. There are
two good reasons for a motor to have three poles:
It causes the motor to have better dynamics. In a two-pole motor, if the
electromagnet is at the balance point, perfectly horizontal between the two poles of
the field magnet when the motor starts; you can imagine the armature getting
"stuck" there. That never happens in a three-pole motor.
Each time the commutator hits the point where it flips the field in a two-pole
motor, the commutator shorts out the battery (directly connects the positive and
negative terminals) for a moment. This shorting wastes energy and drains the
battery needlessly. A three-pole motor solves this problem as well.
It is possible to have any number of poles, depending on the size of the motor and
the specific application it is being used in.

8. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Since pneumatic circuit plays a vital role in this device, it is very necessary to
explain the working of this circuit.
Initially starting with air compresses, its function is to compress air from a low
inlet pressure (usually atmospheric) to a higher pressure level. This is an accomplished
by reducing the volume of the air.
Air compressors are generally positive displacement units and are either of the
reciprocating piston type or the rotary screw or rotary vane types. The air compressor
used here is a typically small sized, two-stage compressor unit. It also consists of a
compressed air tank, electric rotor and pulley drive, pressure controls and instruments for
quick hook up and use. The compressor is driver by a 1 HP motor and designed to
operate in 10 100 PSI range. If the pressure exceeds the designed pressure of the
receiver a release value provided releases the excesses air and thus stays a head of any
hazards to take place.
Then having a pressure regulator where the desired pressure to the operated is set.
Here a variable pressure regulator is adopted. Through a variety of direction control value
are available, a hand operated spool value with detent is applied.
The spool value used here is 5 ports, 3 positions. There are two exhaust ports, two
outlet ports and one inlet port. In two extreme positions only the directions can be
changed while the Centro ore is a neutral position and no physical changes are incurred.
The 2 outlet ports are connected to an actuator (Cylinder).
The pneumatic
activates is a double acting, single rod cylinder. The cylinder output is coupled to further
purpose. The piston end has an air horning effect to prevent sudden thrust at extreme
ends.
