Quick Exhaust Valve
Introduction
The double acting cylinder has two air connections. When compressed air
is applied to one connector and the other connector is allowed to exhaust
to atmosphere (i.e.. the air is allowed to escape freely), the piston is driven
to one end of the cylinder. When air is then applied to the second
connector and the first is allowed to exhaust to atmosphere, the piston is
driven back. This type of cylinder gives greater power on the return
stroke than the single acting cylinder, and also ensures that the piston is
effectively locked in position at both ends of its stroke.

Where
D = Cylinder bore in millimetres
P = Pressure in bar
F = Thrust or Pull in Newtons
Pulling force F will be less than the thrust due to the area lost to
the piston rod

Increasing speed
In some applications
cylinder speed can be
increased by 50% when
using a quick exhaust
valve.
When operated, air from
the front of the cylinder
exhausts directly through
the quick exhaust valve.
Built in cushioning will be
less effective.

exhausts directly through

The faster exhaust gives a
lower back pressure in the
cylinder therefore a higher
pressure differential to
drive out the piston rod
