The modular structure of the Learning System permits applications to


be assembled which go beyond the scope of the individual packages.
It is possible, for example, to use PLCs to control pneumatic,
hydraulic and electrical actuators.
All training packages have an identical structure:
■ Hardware
■ Courseware
■ Software
■ Courses
The hardware consists of industrial components and installations,
adapted for didactic purposes.
The courseware is matched methodologically and didactically to the
training hardware. The courseware comprises:
■ Textbooks (with exercises and examples)
■ Workbooks (with practical exercises, explanatory notes, solutions
and data sheets)
■ OHP transparencies, electronic transparencies for PCs and videos
(to bring teaching to life)
Teaching and learning media are available in several languages. They
have been designed for use in classroom teaching but can also be
used for self-study purposes.
In the software field, CAD programs, computer-based training pro-
grams and programming software for programmable logic controllers
are available.
Festo Didactic’s range of products for basic and further training is
completed by a comprehensive selection of courses matched to the
contents of the technology packages.

Introduction
This workbook forms part of Festo Didactic’s Learning System for
Automation and Communications.
The Training Package TP 600 is designed to provide an introduction
to the fundamentals of electrohydraulic control technology. This pack-
age comprises a basic level and an advanced level. The basic level
package TP 601 teaches basic knowledge of electrohydraulic control
technology. The equipment sets TP 601 and TP 602 (for the ad-
vanced level) provide the student with the key qualification "Technical
competence".
The hydraulic components have been designed to provide the follow-
ing:
■ Easy handling
■ Secure mounting
■ Environmentally-friendly coupling system
■ Compact component dimensions
■ Authentic measuring methods

You will require the following for the practical execution of the exer-
cises:
■ A Festo Didactic profile plate or a laboratory trolley
■ An equipment set TP 601 (cylinders, valves, relay plate, ...)
■ A hydraulic power pack
■ A number of hydraulic hose lines
■ An electrical power supply unit
■ A set of electrical cables

The Training Package TP 601 specifies fundamental training contents.


These help develop both technical and methodological competence in
electrohydraulics:
■ Physical interrelationships in electrical engineering and hydraulics
■ Drafting, assembly and understanding of basic electrohydraulic cir-
cuits
■ Comparison of the use of various valves and other components
■ Development of alternative solutions

TP601 • Festo Didactic

The technical requirements for safe operation of the components are


as follows:
■ A hydraulic power pack to provide an operating pressure between
0,5 and 6 Mpa (5 to 60 bar) and a flow rate of 2 l/min.
■ An electrical power supply for the above of 230 V AC, 50 Hz, with
a 10 A fuse.
■ A short-circuit-proof electrical power supply for the electrical com-
ponents with an output of 24 V DC and a 3 A fuse.
■ A profile plate to mount the components
The profile plate (1100 x 700 mm) has 14 parallel T-grooves at
intervals of 50 mm.

This workbook has been developed for use in the "Dual system" of
vocational training. It is, however, equally suitable for use in providing
a practical introduction to electrohydraulics for students at universities
and technical colleges. The modular design of the hardware allows
theoretical questions to be dealt with experimentally in a simple and
efficient form.
The theoretical background to facilitate understanding of this work-
book is provided in the textbook "Learning System for Automation and
Communications – Electrohydraulics Basic Level".

Festo Didactic also offers the following further training materials for
hydraulics:
■ Sets of OHP transparencies and electronic transparencies for PCs
■ Linear videos and interactive videos (video discs)
■ Autosketch CAD software and symbol library
■ Hydraulics simulation program for planning, simulation and visuali-
sation (in course of preparation)
■ Sets of magnetic symbols and symbols for OHPs, hydraulic slide
rule
■ Transparent models for OHPs, with special hydraulic power pack
■ Equipment sets: BIBB, hand-lever hydraulics, proportional hy-
draulics, closed-loop hydraulics, measurement kit in case

Please see our special brochures for a detailed description of further


training materials.

Notes on safety
Observe the following in the interests of your own safety:
■ Caution!
Cylinders may move unexpectedly when the hydraulic power pack
is switched on.
■ Do not exceed the maximum permissible hydraulic operating
pressure.
See the relevant data sheets.
■ Do not operate electrical limit switches directly by hand when
carrying out fault-finding. Use a tool for this.
■ Use only an extra-low voltage of 24 V to operate the components.
■ Observe all general safety instructions.

Notes on operation

Always work in the following sequence when assembling or dismant-


ling an electrohydraulic circuit.

Assembly
1. The hydraulic power pack and electrical power supply must be
switched off during the assembly of the circuit.
2. All components must be securely fitted to the profile plate or
mounting frame.
3. Connect up the hydraulic hose lines.
All valves, other components and hose lines are fitted with self-
closing quick-acting couplings. Do not exceed the maximum per-
missible pressure of 12 MPa (120 bar).
The maximum operating pressure is 6 MPa (60 bar).
4. Connect up the electrical cables.
Connect test leads to the component sockets by means of 4 mm
plugs.
5. Before commissioning a hydraulic control circuit, check that all re-
turn lines are connected and that all connectors are secure.
6. Switch on the electrical power supply first and then the hydraulic
power pack.
7. Commissioning the control circuit
– Press the START pushbutton
– Set components, etc.
– Compare what you have assembled with the description in the
book.

Dismantling
8. Before dismantling the circuit, ensure that pressure in hydraulic
components has been released:
Couplings must be disconnected only under zero pressure!
9. Switch off the hydraulic power pack first and then the electrical
power supply.

Technical notes

Mechanical
■ Mounting the components on the profile plate
The component support plates are equipped with mounting system
variants A, B and D:
Variant A: Detent system
For light non-load-bearing components (e.g directional control valves).
Simply clip the component into the groove in the profile plate. Re-
lease the blue lever to remove the component.
Variant B: Rotary system
For medium-weight load-bearing components (e.g. actuators). These
components are clamped to the profile plate by means of T-head
bolts. The blue knurled nut is used to clamp or unclamp the compo-
nents.
Variant C: Screw-in system
For heavy load-bearing components or components which are rarely
removed from the profile panel (e.g. the start-up valve and filter regu-
lator). The components are mounted using cheese-head bolts and T-
nuts.
(Mounting system variant C is not used with the equipment set TP
601).
Variant D: Plug-in system
For light non-load-bearing components with locating pins (e.g. indica-
tor and distributor unit). These are mounted using plug-in adapters.

■ Mounting components in the mounting frame


Introduce the rear of components with black plastic housings and four
locating pins into the mounting frame positioned over the profile plate.
The two spacers at top and bottom will snap into place.
To remove the component, press the spacers inwards and lift out the
component.

Hydraulic
■ The hydraulic power pack incorporates an adjustable pressure re-
lief valve. In the interests of safety, the pressure is limited to ap-
prox. 6 MPa (60 bar). Every time a control circuit is assembled on
the profile plate, a second pressure relief valve is used. We rec-
ommend that this should be set to a maximum pressure of 5 MPa
(50 bar).

TP601 • Festo Didactic


13

■ All valves, cylinders and hose lines are fitted with quick-acting
couplings which ensure minimum leakage. The maximum pressure
for all components in the training package is 12 MPa (120 bar).
Thanks to their design, the couplings reduce leakage during con-
nection and disconnection to a minimum.

The operating pressure should not exceed 6 MPa (60 bar)

■ In the case of double-acting cylinders, the pressure intensification


effect may produce an increased pressure proportional to the area
ratio of the cylinder. With an area ratio of 1:1.7 and an operating
pressure of 6 MPa (60 bar), this increased pressure may be over
10 MPa (100 bar)!

60 bar 100 bar

Fig. 2:
Pressure intensification

■ If connections are detached under pressure, the non-return valve in


the coupling may cause pressure to become trapped in the valve
or other component concerned. The pressure relief device can be
used to release this pressure. Exception: This is not possible in
the case of hose lines and non-return valves. Ensure therefore that
control circuits are depressurised before hose lines are discon-
nected and the circuit is dismantled.
■ All valves, other components and hose lines are fitted with self-
closing quick-acting couplings. This prevents the accidental spillage
of hydraulic fluid. In the interests of simplicity, these couplings are
not shown in circuit diagrams.

Symbolic representation of directional control valves


Valves are shown in the "Circuit diagram, hydraulic" in essentially the
same way as in the textbook. The crossover position is on the right
and the parallel position on the left. Working port A is, however, on
the right, and port B is therefore on the left. This symbolic repre-
sentation conforms to the new "Hydraulics 2000" hardware.
The drawing "Practical assembly, hydraulic" is based on the symbol
on the valve. The crossover position is on the left and the parallel
position on the right. Working port A is now on the left and port B on
the right. This symbolic representation is hardware-oriented.
The two different symbolic representations describe all functions of a
given valve. In practice, valves by different manufacturers with identi-
cal functions are sometimes given different symbols. This is permitted
by the applicable standard, DIN ISO 1219 Part 1, of November 1993
with the title "Fluidics: Graphic Symbols and Circuit Diagrams".

Electrical

Power supply:
230 V AC, 50 Hz
- The hydraulic power pack is protected by a 10 A fuse.
- The short-circuit proof electrical power supply has a 3 A fuse.
- The output voltage of this power supply is 24 V DC.
- The output current is limited to a maximum of 5 A.

Wiring:
Universal cable set: 55 red and 33 blue laboratory cables in 5
lengths. All electrohydraulic components are equipped with 4 mm
sockets. The electrical connections for these components are made
using the laboratory cables with 4 mm plugs.

Function wiring:
All electrohydraulic components are also equipped with sockets to
allow the wiring of functions. This considerably reduces the assembly
time required and the risk of incorrect connections.

A distinction should be made between the two designs of electrical


limit switches:
- Electrical limit switch, actuated from the left
- Electrical limit switch, actuated from the right
- When cylinder piston speeds are high, the limit switches should be
actuated by cylinder cams only in the specified direction.
- Limit switches must not be actuated from the front.
- Both types of limit switches are shown by the same symbol in the
hydraulic and electrical circuit diagrams.

are incorrectly aligned), the piston rod must be retracted for safety
reasons. After a correct press-fitting operation, the return stroke
should be initiated when the value preset on the pressure switch of 3
MPa (30 bar) is reached. A one-way flow control valve is fitted in the
supply line of the cylinder. Describe the point in time after the circuit
is switched on at which the pressure switch is triggered if the press-
ure is measured upstream of the throttle valve.

Exercise 8

Exercise The edges of workpieces must be chamfered. It has been possible to


reduce the machining time by using improved tools. The feed speed
is therefore to be increased by using a differential circuit.
The clamping device can accept up to 5 workpieces at the same
time. In order to reduce the working stroke when the number of work-
pieces is less than 5, the cylinder return stroke is to be initiated by
an adjustable limit switch.

Note
Install a flow control valve at a suitable point in the circuit so that the
effect of the differential circuit can clearly be seen.

Exercise 9

Exercise The feed of a drilling machine is to be automated. When carrying out


drilling with large-diameter drilling bits, it is necessary to achieve con-
stant feed characteristics and a finely-adjustable feed speed.
The machine is therefore to be equipped with hydraulic feed, which
must provide a rapid-traverse feed motion and a infinitely-adjustable
working feed motion. The return stroke is to be initiated by pressing a
second pushbutton. During this phase, the flow control valve is to be
bypassed by means of a non-return valve.

Exercise 10

Exercise A hydraulic press is used to shape workpieces. An initial pressure of


p1 = 1.5 MPa (= 15 bar) is used to shape the material slowly. After a
press stroke of approx. 100 mm, a switchover must be made as a
function of position to a higher pressure of p2 = 4 MPa (= 40 bar).
After the pressing operation is complete, the pressure rises to the
maximum value set on the pressure switch, p3 = 5 MPa (= 50 bar).
When this value is reached, the pressure switch initiates a return
stroke of the press. The flow rate is to be adjustable by means of a
flow control valve.

Exercise 12

Exercise An assembly device is used to press-fit a plastic bush into a steel


workpiece. A screw is then inserted to secure the connection.
When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the vertical double-acting
press cylinder A presses the plastic bush into the steel workpiece.
When the pressure in the piston chamber of the press cylinder
reaches 4.5 MPa (45 bar), the horizontal hydraulic motor screws in
the left hand threaded coarse-pitch screw.
When the RETURN pushbutton S2 is pressed, the press cylinder A
retracts and the motor M stops.

Parameters The cylinder must not slip when the hydraulic power pack is switched
off.
Measures must be taken to ensure that the motor cannot rotate
clockwise under any circumstances.
The speed of the press-fitting motion of the cylinder must be adju-
stable.
A visual indicator must show the position of the detented RETURN
pushbutton S2. The visual indicator must not go out, allowing a re-
start, until the switch has been unlocked.

Solution 1

Solution description When the START pushbutton S is pressed, the circuit for the sole-
noid coil Y is closed and the 4/2-way solenoid valve is reversed. The
piston rod of the double-acting cylinder advances to its forward end
position.
When the pushbutton S is released, the circuit for solenoid coil Y is
interrupted and the 4/2-way solenoid valve returns to its initial posi-
tion. The piston rod of the cylinder returns to its retracted end posi-
tion.
■ Note on hydraulic circuit diagram
Components are shown in this diagram by symbols.
The 4/2-way solenoid valve is shown in the circuit diagram with
- the parallel position on the left and
- the crossover position on the right.
This means that there are no intersecting lines in the circuit dia-
gram.
This is the same method of representation as is used in the text-
book.
■ Note on electrical circuit diagram
In circuits with direct actuation, without relays, the control and
power circuits are not separate.
■ Note on "Practical assembly, hydraulic" drawing
Components are also shown in the "Practical assembly, hydraulic"
drawing by symbols.
The 4/2-way solenoid valve is shown in the same way as the sym-
bol on the valve itself.
- Parallel position on the right
- Crossover position on the left
A line intersection thus occurs in the "Practical assembly, hy-
draulic" drawing.
■ Electrical components can also be mounted in the mounting frame
if desired.

Solution description When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is en-
ergised. The normally-open contact K1 supplies current to the sole-
noid coil Y1 and the 4/2-way solenoid valve is reversed. This causes
the piston rod of the cylinder to advance. As soon as the START
pushbutton S1 is released, the piston rod retracts again. The piston
rod cannot stop in the vicinity of the conveyor system if S1 is not
pressed. The one-way flow control valve can be used to adjust the
advance-stroke speed.

Solution description When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is energi-
sed. The normally-open contact K1 supplies current to the solenoid
coil Y1 of the 3/2-way solenoid valve. The piston rod now advances.
When the pushbutton S1 is released, the circuit with K1 and Y1 is
interrupted, the valve closes by spring force and the piston rod re-
tracts due to the loading weight. The advance-stroke speed can be
adjusted by means of the one-way flow control valve.

Solution description When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is en-
ergised; the normally-open contact of K1 latches to maintain the
power supply for the relay K1. Simultaneously, current is fed to the
coil Y1 via a further contact of K1. The solenoid reverses the 4/2-way
solenoid valve and the piston rod advances and remains at its for-
ward end position until the RETURN pushbutton S2 is pressed, which
interrupts the circuit for the relay K1. This also causes the circuit for
the coil Y1 to be interrupted, and the piston rod returns to its initial
position. A flow control valve must be fitted to ensure that the speed
does not vary as a function of load. This flow control valve should be
fitted upstream of the directional control valve and will then control
both the advance and return strokes.

Further work
If both pushbuttons, S1 and S2, are pressed simultaneously, the cy-
linder retracts or remains in its retracted end position. We thus speak
of a latching circuit with "dominating off" characteristics.
Modify the electrical circuit in such a way as to obtain "dominating
on" characteristics.
If both pushbuttons, S1 and S2, are pressed simultaneously in this
case, the cylinder will advance or remain at its forward end position.

Solution description When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is en-
ergised; the 1st normally-open contact of K1 maintains the power
supply for the relay K1. Simultaneously, the circuit for the coil Y1 is
closed via a further contact of K1. The 4/2-way valve reverses and
the piston rod advances until the pressure preset on the pressure
switch B1 is reached. The pressure switch acts via K2 to cancel the
latching of K1. This also interrupts the circuit for the coil Y1, causing
this to become de-energised. The 4/2-way solenoid is reversed back
by spring force and the piston rod returns to its initial position.
Fit the pressure sensor upstream of the one-way flow control valve:
If the advance-stroke speed is controlled by a throttle valve, the
throttle valve represents such a large resistance that, when the circuit
is switched on, the pressure upstream of this valve rises to over 30
bar. The result of this is that the pressure switch initiates the return
stroke before the correct press-fitting pressure has been reached. The
pressure must therefore be measured directly upstream of the cylin-
der supply port.

Note
You will require a 2.5 mm Allen key to adjust the pressure switch.

C-28
Solution 7

Solution description The hydraulically-piloted non-return valve prevents the piston rod from
being pulled out by the tractive load. The piloted non-return valve
opens and allows the piston rod to advance only when the "Close
door" pushbutton S1 is pressed, causing the 3/2-way valve to
reverse. When the pushbutton S1 is released, the 3/2-way valve re-
turns to its initial position and the piloted non-return valve closes im-
mediately. The piston rod is hydraulically clamped and remains where
it is. The hydraulic clamping ensures that the piston rod cannot be
pulled out by a tractive load. When S1 is pressed again, the piston
rod moves forward until the desired end position is reached.
When the "Open door" pushbutton S2 is pressed, the piston rod
moves back. When S2 is released, the 4/3-way valve reverses, while
the piston rod stays where it is and is hydraulically clamped.
The two pushbuttons S1 and S2 are mechanically interlocked. If both
of these are pressed at the same time or if one is held down and
the other pressed, the piston rod stops.
The one-way flow control valve is installed on the piston-rod side in
order to ensure that a back-pressure develops as the door closes.
This pressure is used firstly to provide counter-holding and secondly
to ensure reliable opening of the pilot-operated non-return valve.

Note
If AC solenoid valves are used, the pushbuttons S1 and S2 must be
interlocked to prevent damage to the solenoid coils if both of these
are energised at the same time.
In the case of DC solenoids, an interlock should be provided for
safety reasons.

Solution 8

The circuit is started by pressing S3. The 4/3-way valve then Solution description
reverses, and the fluid from the piston-rod side is used together with
the pump delivery to power the advance stroke of the cylinder. When
the limit switch S2 is reached, the 4/3-way valve and 4/2-way valve
are reversed and the piston rod retracts again. When the piston rod
reaches the limit switch S1 at its retracted end position, the 4/2-way
valve switches back to its initial position. A new processing cycle can
now be started.
In this circuit, the flow control valve is used only to restrict the pump
delivery to allow a clearer demonstration of the effects of a differential
circuit.

Note
The limit switch S1 could also be installed directly in current path 4
in place of the normally-closed contact K2. In complex electrical cir-
cuits, the limit switch always operates as shown, via a relay.

Solution 9

During the rapid traverse motion, the 2-way flow control valve is by- Solution description
passed via the 2/2-way directional control valve. Switchover from
rapid to feed speed is position-dependent and is initiated by the limit
switch S2, which feeds an electrical signal via the relay K2 to the
solenoid coil Y2.

The return stroke is initiated by the pushbutton S4. In the retracted


end position of the piston rod, the limit switch S1 switches the 2/2-
way valve back to rapid traverse, thus fulfilling the condition for a re-
start.
During the return stroke, the flow control valve is bypassed by the
non-return valve, item 7.

3 3.1 Close pressure relief valve 2⁄3
4 3 Close pressure relief valve 1⁄3
5 8 Open pressure switch fully

Commissioning
After switching on the electrical and hydraulic power supplies, press
the START pushbutton repeatedly to restore the circuit to its initial
setting. The following settings must be made:

1 1 Pump safety valve to 6 MPa (60 bar)


2 5 2-way flow control valve to mid-position
3 3.1 Pressure relief valve to 1.5 MPa (15 bar)
4 3 Pressure relief valve to 4 MPa (40 bar)
5 8 Pressure switch to approx. 3.6 MPa (36 bar)

When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is en-


ergised and latches via its normally-open contact in current path 2. A
further normally-open contact of K1 energises the solenoid coil Y1 of
the 4/2-way valve and the piston rod advances. The 2/2-way valve is
still open, with the result that the pressure relief valve, with its lower
pressure setting, becomes operative. When the piston rod reaches
the limit switch S2, the 2/2-way valve is deactivated, producing a
switchover to the pressure set on the 2nd pressure relief valve. When
the piston rod reaches its forward end position, the pressure con-
tinues to rise until the preset pressure is reached. The pressure
switch cancels the latching of K1 and K2. K1 reverses the 4/2-way
valve to initiate the piston return stroke. The relay K2, which has also
been de-energised, acts via the normally-closed contact in current
path 7 to switch the system back to low pressure. A re-start can now
be carried out.

Solution 11

When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the coil of relay K1 is Solution description
energised. Relay K1 latches via its 1st normally-open contact. The
normally-closed contact of K1 de-energises relay K3, causing the nor-
mally-open contact of K3 to open and de-energise the solenoid valve
Y2.
As a result, the 2/2-way valve reverses, shutting off the pressureless
pump bypass, The pump delivers directly into the system.
Since the normally-open contact of K1 which supplies the solenoid
coil Y1 is also closed, the 4/2-way valve reverses and the piston rod
advances to the limit switch S2. S2 acts via K2 to cancel the latching
of K1, thus de-energising the solenoid coil Y1 and switching the 4/2-
way valve over for the return stroke.
When the piston rod reaches the limit switch S3 at the retracted end
position, the 2/2-way valve is once again switched to pressureless by-
pass. The result of this is that the pump delivery is discharged to the
tank not at the system pressure of 50 bar but only against the resi-
stance of the 2/2-way valve.

Solution 12

When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is energi- Solution description
sed and latches. The normally-open contact of K1 in current path 7
energises the solenoid coil Y1 of the 4/3-way valve. This causes the
piston rod of cylinder A to advance.
When the pressure set on B1 is reached, the relay K3 is energised.
As a result, the normally-open contact of K3 in current path 9 closes
and the hydraulic motor rotates counterclockwise. The piston rod re-
mains advanced until the switch S2 is actuated.
When the switch S2 is actuated, its detented position is shown by a
visual indicator. S2 cancels the latching of K1 and K3, causing the
4/3-way valve to switch over and initiate the return stroke of the cylin-
der. Simultaneously, the pressure falls. The pressure switch causes
the relay K3 to become de-energised, which results in the opening of
the normally-open contact of K3 in current path 9. Y3 accordingly be-
comes de-energised and the 4/2-way valve is reversed by spring for-
ce. The motor stops.
Only after the switch S2 is released (indicator lamp goes out) does
the 4/3-way valve switch to its mid-position, allowing a new working
cycle to be started.

Note
In practice, a pressure sensor would not be used alone to determine
whether cylinder A has reached its end position. An additional limit
switch would also be used to provide reliable detection of the end
position.

Solution 13

When the START pushbutton S1 is pressed, the relay K1 is energi- Solution description
sed and latches. The normally-open contact of K1 in current path 9
energises the solenoid coil Y1 of the 4/3-way valve. This causes the
piston rod of cylinder A to advance until it reaches the limit switch
S2.
S2 energises the relay K2 as long as cylinder A is advanced. The
normally-open contact of K2 in current path 10 energises the solenoid
coil Y3 of the 4/2-way valve and the piston rod of cylinder B advan-
ces until it reaches the limit switch S4 at its end position.
S4 energises K3, whose normally-closed contacts in current paths 1
and 3 de-energise the relays K1 and K2. S4 thus cancels the lat-
ching contacts K1 for Y1 and K2 for Y3, while energising Y2. Y2
causes the 4/3-way valve to reverse, and the piston rod of cylinder A
retracts.
Due to the fact that Y3 has become de-energised, the 4/2-way valve
is reversed by spring force and the piston rod of cylinder B also re-
tracts. Only after both piston rods have reached their retracted end
positions is Y2 de-energised, and the 4/3-way valve is brought into its
mid-position by spring force.

Mounting systems

The components of the equipment set are mounted on the Festo


Didactic profile plate. The profile plate has 14 parallel T-grooves
equally spaced 50 mm apart.

There is a choice of four alternative systems for mounting the compo-


nents on the profile plate:
Variant A: Detent system, used without additional devices.
Clamping mechanism with lever and spring which can be
moved along the T-groove, for light non-load-bearing
components
Variant B: Rotary system, used without additional devices.
Grip nut with locking disc and T-head bolt,
vertical or horizontal alignment, for medium-weight
load-bearing components
Variant C: Screw-in system, used with additional devices.
Cheese-head bolt with T-head nut, vertical and horizontal
alignment, for heavy load-bearing components or
components which are rarely removed from the profile
plate (Mounting-system variant C is not used in the
equipment set TP 601).
Variant D: Plug-in system, used with adapters. Components with
locating pins for plug-in assembly boards, can be insert in
a T-groove, for light non-load-bearing components
The signal input unit and indicator and relay plates can also be
mounted in the mounting frame for ER units.

TP601 • Festo Didactic


D-4

In the case of variant A, a slide engages in the T-groove of the


profile plate. This slide is pre-tensioned by a spring. When the blue
lever is pressed, the slide is retracted to allow the component to be
removed from or fitted to the profile plate. Components are aligned
with the groove and can be moved along this.
In the case of variant B, the component is secured to the profile
plate by a T-head bolt and a blue grip nut. A locking disc which can
be positioned in steps of 90˚ is used to position the components,
allowing these to be aligned either parallel to or at right angles to the
grooves.
After the locking disc has been set to the desired position, the com-
ponent is placed on the profile plate. When the grip nut is turned
clockwise, the T-head bolt is turned through 90˚in the T-groove by
thread friction. The grip nut is then turned further to clamp the com-
ponent to the profile plate.
Variant C is used with heavy components or components which are
to be secured to the profile plate once only or seldom removed. In
this case, components are secured by means of internal-hex-head
bolts and T-head nuts.
In the case of variant D, our well-proven ER units, on plug-in assem-
bly boards with locating pins on a 50 mm grid pattern, can be at-
tached to the profile plate by means of adapters. A black plastic
adapter is required for each locating pin. The adapters are positioned
in the T-grooves at intervals of 50 mm and secured by rotating them
through 90˚. The locating pins of the ER units are then inserted into
the holes in the adapters.

Sub-base

The hole pattern of the sub-base for valves of nominal size 4 (DN 4)
conforms to ISO/DIN 4401 size 02. Due to the similarity between this
hole pattern and the one for size 03, it has been possible by chang-
ing the dimensions slightly and providing additional mounting holes to
allow valves of nominal size 6 (DN 6) to be used as well.

D-6

Coupling system

All hydraulic components are equipped with self-closing couplings.


These have been designed in particular to be free of leaks, enabling
circuits to be assembled and dismantled with virtually no oil leakage,
while at the same time allowing connections to be made with very
little effort. A coupling consists of a nipple and socket. Connections
are made by pushing a socket onto a nipple. The sliding sleeve then
engages to provide a secure connection. This sleeve is pushed back
to detach a connection. A spring then pushes the socket away from
the nipple. Coupling nipples can be screwed into the sub-bases. All
valves mounted on sub-bases can thus be connected up via nipples.
All other components should preferably also be equipped with nipples,
and hoses lines should therefore be fitted with two sockets. Compo-
nents such as shut-off valves or non-return valves which are con-
nected on one side to hoses and on the other to components are
equipped with coupling nipples and coupling sockets respectively.

Self-closing coupling

TP601 • Festo Didactic


D-7

Since the couplings close to create a leakproof seal, it may occur


that pressure is trapped inside a component. If this happens, the
force required to operate the coupling will increase to such an extent
that the component cannot subsequently be coupled up again. The
remedy in cases of this kind is to use a pressure relieving device.
This is of similar design to a coupling socket but incorporates an ad-
justment spindle. The spindle should initially be rotated fully out and
the device then pushed onto a nipple until the sliding sleeve engages.
The spindle can be rotated inward to push back the sealing pin of
the nipple and open the seal. The pressure behind the nipple will
then be relieved; a drop of oil may escape during this operation. The
pressure relieving device can be removed again by pushing back the
sliding sleeve. The coupling systems consist of the following compo-
nents:
Coupling nipple, coupling socket and pressure relieving device.
