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 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 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.
