Pneumatic Power Supply

This brief interactive activity, by Electromechanical Digital Library and Wisconsin Technical College System faculty member Terry Bartelt, begins with a discussion of the three basic components of a pneumatic power system, the prime mover, compressor, and receiver tank. Visitors can learn about each one, its purpose in the system, and how it works through illustrations and animations. The next section discusses and demonstrates power supply operation, with all three parts working to complete the system. This is an excellent resource for electromechanical and pneumatics classes.
