Basic Pneumatics Learning System – 85-BP

Request Information

The Basic Pneumatics Learning System (85-BP) introduces pneumatic principles through a combination of Amatrol’s topflight curriculum with hands-on skills; this attention to marrying the “why” and “how” of pneumatics will reinforce both concept and theory, resulting in a thorough understanding of the topic. Topics covered in this learning system include single-acting cylinder circuits, pressure vs. cylinder force, and flow control valves, while our panels can be used to practice skills such as connecting and operating a needle valve to control actuator speed.

The 85-BP features pneumatic cylinders, flow controls, directional control valve, air motor, pressure gauges, rotameter, manometer, and air filter. These components are mounted on Amatrol panels, which are carefully crafted (hand-welded and painted) to provide a durable, well designed learning system that will serve teachers and students for years.

The skills acquired by successfully completing the 85-BP will prepare learners for more advanced systems, including Amatrol’s Intermediate Pneumatics (85-IP) and Advanced Pneumatics (85-AP). The 85-IP covers topics such as cam-operated valves, cylinder sequencing, and shuttle valves, while 85-AP topics include pneumatic cylinder loads and quick exhaust valves.

Industrial Components

Amatrol’s commitment to using industry-standard components provides learners with an opportunity to train on mechanisms that they will see on the job. Components included with the 85-BP are pre-mounted in an orderly, user-friendly design on stainless steel circuit panels with hand-painted shadow labels, which makes it easy to identify and inventory components.

Pneumatic Application

Amatrol’s curriculum explains how basic pneumatic components are integrated into real-world applications such as robots, rock drills, and truck brakes. As an example, learners will practice on a pneumatic motor and study the principles behind how it works, while also reading about how it is utilized on pneumatic drills and small winches. This approach will make it easier for learners to understand each component’s role in a pneumatic circuit, which will make troubleshooting less difficult on real-world circuits. Learners will study pneumatic gauges, valves, cylinders, and motors, including schematic symbols for each component.

Expanded Options & Add-Ons

The separately purchased Basic Pneumatics virtual trainer (VB780) extends the educational potential of this learning system by allowing learners to perform the same tasks in a virtual environment that they would practice on a physical Amatrol learning system. Pneumatic components are recreated in such specific detail that learners can seamlessly transition to hands-on equipment.

Alternately, Amatrol conveniently offers the 85-BP as part of the separate 850-P1 Basic Pneumatics Learning System, which provides everything necessary to get the optimal use out of the 85-BP. In addition to the 85-BP’s instrumentation panel and valve/actuator panel, the 850-P1 includes a welded steel Amatrol workbench. This workbench provides a sturdy workspace for up to three Amatrol modules with storage for up to four additional modules underneath. The bench also features a lockable drawer for storing pneumatic hoses. The 85-BP also requires a 100 psig/690 kPa compressed air source. Amatrol offers a Compressed Air System (90-A1) as an option if needed.
