Pneumatic control system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a pneumatic control system for a working cylinder, which pneumatic control system enables resistance-free manual motion of the device driven by the working cylinder in the event of a failure or switch-off of the compressed air supply and is independent of electrical supply. The problem is solved by means of a pneumatic control system having a double-acting working cylinder, the two chambers of which can be connected oppositely to a compressed air source and a compressed air outlet by means of a controllable supply device having two operating positions, an independently resetting 3/2-way valve switchable by means of a control pressure being arranged before each chamber in a connecting line to the supply device, which 3/2-way valves connect the chambers to bleeding outlets in a first switching position and to the supply device in a second switching position, and a parallel circuit of a check valve and a throttle point being arranged before each chamber, the check valves of which parallel circuits block in the backflow direction, wherein the two 3/2-way valves assume the first switching position in the idle position and can be switched by means of a common control line, which is connected to both connecting lines to the supply device downstream of the 3/2-way valves by means of a changeover valve, and the parallel circuits are arranged in the connecting lines downstream of the respective 3/2-way valves.
