Pneumatic Training Course of HAFNER Pneumatik
We are glad to introduce you herewith into our pneumatic training course which is including a total of 14
chapters. During the training we will introduce you to the basics of pneumatics. We present simple pneumatic
systems as well as the ISO symbols used in pneumatics. In the later chapters we write about pneumatic
components such as cylinders, valves, FRL units and fittings.
We hope you will enjoy the pneumatic training course!


Chapter 1
Basic concepts of Pneumatics
Have you ever wanted to know how to calculate cylinder forces in practice? You can find a calculation scheme and much more information in our first chapter of the pneumatic training course.

Chapter 2
The General Design of a Pneumatic System and its Components
Do you know the equipment which is typically used in a pneumatic system? You can find an overview of the general design of a pneumatic system and its components in this chapter.

Chapter 3
Grouping and construction of control valves
Pneumatic control valves can be segmented according to different criteria. General information on directional control valves such as their basic design can be found here.

Chapter 4
Structure and function of directional valves
Various differences exist between a spool valve and a direct acting (poppet) valve. We describe the advantages and disadvantages of the different design principles in the 4th chapter.

Chapter 5
ISO Schemes of directional control valves
Schematic symbols of directional control valves are standardized according to DIN ISO 1219. Valuable information on the function of ISO schematic symbols and their meaning can be found in this chapter.

Chapter 6
Explanation of the Hafner type numbering system
The Hafner type numbering system follows a logical structure consisting of letters and numbers which carry further meaning. But what do they stand for? Learn more about their meaning in this chapter.

Chapter 7
The pneumatic cylinder - part 1
The first part of the pneumatic cylinder course gives further information about the design of a pneumatic cylinder and also descriptions of various cylinders using ISO schematic symbols.

Chapter 8
The pneumatic cylinder - part 2
The second part of the pneumatic cylinder course describes the working principle of cushioning, and ways of regulating the speed and also gives and overview of the different sensor options.

Chapter 9
The basics of air preparation
The quality of the compressed air in use is vitally important for the safe operation and durability of the pneumatic system. In order to prepare the air properly, the ISO 8573-1:2010 norm must be considered. This chapter shows what air preparation equipment exists and what should be observed.

Chapter 10
Air preparation units
Air preparation equipment is for reaching the required air quality level. Do you know the difference between a pre-, fine- and activated carbon filter unit? We explain the differences in this chapter.

Chapter 11
Valves and Actuators with the NAMUR-interface
Valves with standardized NAMUR-interface are widely used to actuate pneumatic actuators. In order to select the right pilot valve several things have to be considered. One of the important parameters is the NAMUR-interface of the actuator as two different sizes are available on the market.

Chapter 12
Solutions for challenging environment - part 1
Products for challenging environments have to be robust and reliable. Particularly in environments with exceptionally low and high temperatures, in explosion-hazardous environments or under aggressive environmental conditions, several factors have to be considered which are less relevant in classic industrial pneumatics. Learn more in the 12th chapter.

Chapter 13
Solutions for challenging environment - part 2
This chapter focuses on challenges and solutions for corrosive environments which can often be found in on-and off-shore applications such as on ships or oil rig platforms. But also in the chemical and food industries, corrosive resistant products are often required.

Chapter 14
Products for explosion hazardous environments
In explosion-hazardous environments, it is mandatory to use Ex-certified products. But how to select the right components? The zoning in particular is a crucial part. But also other criteria such as the ignition protection type or temperature class have to be considered. Many useful information about Ex-protection can be found in this chapter.
