Amatrol’s Basic Pneumatics training system (85-BP) introduces pneumatic principles through a combination of Amatrol’s top-flight multimedia curriculum with hands-on industrial pneumatic skill-building. Topics covered in this learning system include single-acting cylinder circuits, pressure vs. cylinder force, and flow control valves, while the panels can be used to practice skills such as connecting and operating a needle valve to control actuator speed.

The pneumatics training system includes pneumatic cylinders, flow controls, directional control valves, an air motor, pressure gauges, rotameter, manometer, and air filters. These components are mounted onto Amatrol panels that are carefully crafted (hand-welded and painted) to provide a durable, well-designed learning experience that will serve teachers and students for years. The skills acquired by completing the basic pneumatics training system will prepare students for more advanced concepts and pneumatic applications, including Amatrol’s Intermediate Pneumatics (85-IP) and Advanced Pneumatics (85-AP) systems.

Industrial Pneumatic Components for Hands-On Skill-Building

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

Basic Pneumatics Multimedia (MB834)

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, students 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. Learners will study pneumatic gauges, valves, cylinders, and motors, including schematic symbols for each component. This Basic Pneumatics curriculum is presented in an interactive multimedia format that that combines text, audio, 3D illustrations, and loads of interaction to fully engage students as they begin at the foundation of pneumatics.

Expanded Options and Add-Ons

Alternately, Amatrol conveniently offers the Basic Pneumatics training system as part of the separate 850-P1 Basic Pneumatics Learning System (850-P1) or Controls Technology Learning System (850-PD1). The 850-P1 is a single-sided workstation that allows up to three students at a time to practice pneumatics skills, and the 850-PD1 is a double-sided workstation that allows for six students to work simultaneously. If there is a need to teach both pneumatics and hydraulics, the Basic Pneumatics (85-BP) is also included with the Basic Fluid Power – Double Sided A-Frame Bench with Two Hydraulic Manifolds (850-CD1) or Basic Fluid Power – Double Sided A-Frame Bench with One Hydraulic Manifold (850-CD2).
