d. Explain, what will happen if you press the push button of the 3/2 way DCV on the left?
When the valve A is actuated, the air will flow to valve B and switch it from the position 1→ 4 to the position 2→3 , so the piston in the double acting cylinder will move forward.
e.Explain, what will happen if you press the push button of the 3/2
way DCV on the right?
When the valve on the right is actuated, the air will flow to valve B and switch it from the position 1→ 2 to the position 4→5, so the piston in the double acting cylinder will move backward.
