This project explores the design and implementation of a small-scale pneumatic lift, demonstrating the core principles of fluid power using compressed air. Pneumatic systems are widely used in industrial applications for their safety, speed, and low maintenance. The lift was constructed using a pneumatic cylinder, a 5/2 directional control valve, an air compressor, hoses, and a supporting frame. The assembly process involved connecting and testing the components to ensure smooth vertical movement. The system performed effectively, exhibiting reliable control and adequate load-handling capability, though minor air leaks were detected. The project confirmed the efficiency and simplicity of pneumatic lifting mechanisms. Key recommendations include incorporating sensors for automation, enhancing seals to reduce air leaks, and introducing electronic controls to improve performance. Overall, the pneumatic lift successfully illustrated the potential of compressed air systems in lightweight lifting tasks and provided a foundation for further enhancements and industrial-scale applications.
