Control Pneumatic Cylinder with Arduino 

Straight to the point. Love it.

Triggy, Thank you. Very well done!

The perfect video. Dude. S-Tier. I cannot describe how thankful I feel every time I land on a video as well-made as this one. You made my day. Thank you.

Simply demonstrated very well

A colleague and I are using this video of yours as reference. Nice one!

A little fast, but I love how detailed you were in explaining each step! Nice work.

Love from Tamil Nadu...mass bro...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You did nice work, the only suggestion is throw a flyback diode between the solenoid because some solenoids create a high voltage spike when driving them directly with a MOSFET and that can destroy the MOSFET fairly quickly and also cause other things like mcu reset.

Thnx this helped me a lot

Hey Triggy, nice work. Consider doing a follow up on flyback diodes for the valve. The back EMF from the valve coil will destroy your indicator LEDs in short order.

one of the best tutorials on this out there! thank you very much! quick accurate and precise! I was just briefly surprised that the two voltage grounds are connected! Isn't it best to keep them separate? It seems to me as a recipe for fried circuitry? (but I'm no electronics genius so please explain.) Thanks

Would be super awesome if you included a shopping bag or links for parts so that viewers could try to build what you're building!

Creative video, thanks :)

could you make a video where you show if and how you can control the position of a pneumatic cylinder with an arduino? Especially with a 5/3 valve would be great, or with something like a magnetic sensor that pneumatic cylinders come with sometimes. thanks!

what we can do if we dont have compressor insted of it we have double size of the cilynder . and we have to re use the same filed air

Congratulations, I subscribed to your channel, as this is an excellent demonstration, a good reason to associate my machines with arduino, Like 2.3K

Very interesting!!!

So I have a 21.4 V-24.5 V DC solenoid could I connect same way as this 12V one? Just switch out the 12 V battery for a 24V current ?

Can you show the circuit diagram on how to connect to the mosfet and what items to use? You link does not work anymore.

I want the circuit diagram can you help me with that. Link that you’ve given is not opening.

that pneumatic can withstand vehicle wheel load? I want to make tyre killer and I couldnt find yet whether I should use pneumatic or hydralic

Hello Triggy, Thank you very much for your prompt and good answer. Your project is very good for my application and I'm currently working to adapt your solution to my own project. If anything should be unclear to me I will contact you for some explanations, with your permission. Have a nice weekend. Kind regards, Sorin.

Excellent! New sub.

Hi! Do you think you could show how to do this with a solenoid valve bank?

Hello, can you please re-upload the circuit diagram? The link doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

Amazing video!! Would you happen to know what kind of connectors you used for the 12 volt battery and the solenoid valve? Thanks!

Question: do you have to connect lights and a transistor to the breadboard or are they just in this project? Also, what battery is he using?

could you make a video about how to choose a pneumatic cylinder please?

Could you please do a video on how to connect a NE555 to a solenoid via a SSR. Its for a lightgun recoil. Thank you

hey. good day ,were you still active today? i would like to know more about this mini hydraulic cylinder. What's the dimensions of your hydraulic cylinder? i was planning to build a landing gear for my adventure bike. since it was so tall and I'm just 5'1 of height. your video was great

Hello! Thank you for the video, it was of great help. I am actually doing a project where I have to rotate a small crib of certain angles using pneumatic cylinders. Would you have any advice for controlling the position of the cylinder to define precisely the angle of rotation of the crib?

Can you add where you got these materials and what exact thing to buy

Hey instead of connecting it to a air compressor, can you connect it to like a small air reservoir tank and would that still work? And is there any good recommendations for a small air reservoir tank, something for a robotics project?

Is the pneumatic cylinders able to move slower?

Can you have variable speed AND stop it half way and it still hold a load. Does the compressor have to be 'ON' to hold a load.Thanks

Hi Sir am interested with the same design but can it be used or designed for car acceleration and deceleration mechanisn

Is it a good idea to use pneumatic cylinder to a hydraulic bicycle brake caliper? Or should i just directly connect it to the brake caliper?

I have a question.. What is the cheapest option because I need multiple cylinders which will be controlled with sensors.

What is the difference between this fqp30n06l and a relay?

Hi Triggy, nice build! I wanted to see if there is any way to adjust how much pressure goes into the pneumatic cylinder? I am trying to put together a Tamping Machine where I can adjust timing and force

Can we use any other transistor ?

This is great. Very nicely done. How can I control the speed of the cylinder action using an Arduino. You mentioned something about the exhaust outputs but can these be controlled electronically?

thanks a LOT

How do we control the extension rate?

Is it possible to open the pneumatic cylinder partially/slowly by replacing the solenoid with something?

Excellent tutorial. Any suggestions for a short stroke (2 - 4") pneumatic actuator?

what if i need to connect two cylinders on the same arduino board? can i hook two of them to the same board?

How many can you connect and control individually with this type of set up?

Would this pump work with any gas? Or do I hate to use a big air pump, because I want to make something that would fit on me

Hello, may i get the circuit diagram for this video pls? I cant open it

Do you have an Amazon link for the quick connect with push fitting that you used? I can't find one.

how could you program the rod to move partially?

Hello, where did you buy your quick connect with push on? I'm in Canada. Thanks :)

What PSI do you regulate the compressor at for that cylinder speed you are getting?

Can I do the same with my raspberry Pi with a bit of modifications? Is there any safety precautions I need to take? Please help me .

Good. Air from? No details about the compressor.

Great video, Triggy-thanks! I'm wondering how I could incorporate a capacitive proximity sensor to control the cylinder. Would you have any suggestions?

Can you make one without air and that has power to lift 150 pounds that runs on 12 volts?

Hey nice video! I was wondering how powerful of an air compressor do I need to move the piston?

Is there a circuit diagram for this?

Is there a way i could vary pressure using valves

The link is not working for the circuit diagram. Is there a way to get it ?

Can we build this project without using air compressor? Because I am working on a project to make a compact flipper robot?

Pls do for automatic pneumatic door with ardino bro

Wow..u product exclnt.i love my projek long time for agro cocunut tree

Can you post the circuit diagram again?

I want to do this with two cylinders acting in unison. Would simply adding Tees between the output ports and the cylinder ports work or would two valves be required?

Can you ensure that the flow of air is gradual and not so rapid so that the piston comes out a bit slowly?

sir, it's a very fabulous video. I just need the coding can u please send me the coding and the names of equipment required.

So this is the Anton chigurh weapon

i think its happy to see me

So I have to permanently keep an air compressor hooked up to my pneumatic cylinder?

I’m new to this stuff and was wondering how could I do multiple of the pneumaticS in one Arduino script? Like pretend I wanted to control an arm, how could I make it to where I click like an arrow on my keyboard to trigger one of the pneumatic cylinders?

Can you give me detail of item for this project? Plist list with spec.. thank you

The circuit diagram not available anymore 😢

Hey man, i love your video and have some questions about the working of the arduino. How to DM you?

Adding to the requests for a wiring diagram. I have a very hard time seeing exactly what MOSFET pins are connected to LEDs/Resistors. REally hesitant to power this thing up without knowing what might cause a fire :) also, for future viewers, dropping code in the description would be very helpful.

A circuit diagram of the Arduino/breadboard would be helpful. Other than that, great video. Clear, concise and informative.

Any body know the rating of diode and transistor given in circuit diagram ....?

Hi, What should I type to buy power supply, I have pneumatic cylinder and air compressor but I need to connect them in the power Thank you!

Hello there great tutorial I need some help I'm kind of a beginner. I'm trying to make a animatronic like showbiz which needs a lot of Pneumatic Cylinders and I wouldn't have enough room for a bunch of breadboards to control each Cylinder so is it possible I could use something like relays to control it instead of the circuit you showed in this wonderful video?

The solenoid could work if i just using the power supply from arduino??

Sir what size did u use pneumatic cylinder?

Hello Triggy, What are the sizes of the two resistors you used? Are they equal sizes or different? Thank you very much. Regards, Sorin.

Heyy... May I know what type of arduino that u used in this vid ?? And I wonder that if this thing will also work if I change the type pneumatic cylinder to a bigger bore,length and stroke ?? Glad hear from you soon..

Is it possible to control 2 actuators at the same time with the same button? I've been looking for a way to do it.

Where can I get a battery for this??

This came at a perfect time for me as I've wanted to learn to design pneumatic systems. Liked and subbed!

Can you point me to a light duty air pump and a tank that can do the job ?

Hey Do you have a circuit diagram/schematic available, the on linked doesn't work and sends me to and empty patreon site :)

What kind of battery is that?

Can i get the coding for the Arduino?

dhanyawad

Bro can I get circuit diagram for this

Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍 👍👍👍.

can it be connected to a microblue?

Hi could you please share circuit diagram and code ?

Hey, can you give links to where you bought these? I'm not sure where to buy reliable components

hey man I have a project where I need to connect 4 cylinder to build a sorting machine, how to connect all 4 cylinders to the Arduino and not make them all work at the same time (each has to activate when commanded) . I don't know how to explain this properly but this is a little the idea.

Is it possible to control the speed of the pneumatic cylinder?
