How Do You Build A Pneumatics Training Board?
A pneumatics training board is a cost effective way to teach students the fundamentals of air pressure doing work faster and more efficiently than it can be done by hand. In addition, this exercise will reinforce the student’s ability to troubleshoot problems on almost any machine or vehicle. Build a box three feet long, two feet high and two feet wide. Use 3/4″ inch plywood for the box construction. Use a four by eight sheet of three quarter inch plywood to use for the back board. Use four solid castor wheels to make the training board movable. Locate where the air piston will be attached. Use the u-bolts to mark where the holes should be located (the air piston should be located near the top of the back board). Screw the appropriate nut size onto the u-bolt threads. Use your open end box end wrench or ratchet and socket set to secure the mounting nuts. These nuts must be secure for the piston to operate. Mount a single acting valve onto the back board (preferably towards the bottom o
