Pneumatic Syringe Assembly Instructions

The PVC parts are brushed off before they are packaged, however, there may still be residue on the parts. Just take a damp rag and wipe the parts clean.</td>

The tabs may leave some rough edges. Take some sandpaper and rub these edges smooth. </td>

Take the two large PVC parts and insert the tabbed part into the slotted one. This should make an "L" shape with the engraved writing on the inside.

Run a bead of superglue down the seam where the two parts meet. Let this dry for 3-5 minutes before proceeding.</td>

Remove the screw in the center of the servo horn (the white plastic part) from the servo and remove the servo horn. Save this screw! You will need it later.

Install the servo into the base as shown using two 4-40 x .5" screws and 4-40 nuts.

Attach the remaining two PVC parts to the syringe using zip ties, exactly as shown. Take care to not tighten these down too much, as it will cause the cylinder to distort and not form a good seal with the plunger.

97

Also note, it is very important that the zip tie on the plunger needs to be aligned as shown in the picture or it will collide with the red servo horn that is added later.</td>

Drill out the hole shown in Figure 7-2 with a .125" drill bit. This does not require any powertools, as it can be done easily by hand as shown below.

107

Afterwards, cut off the three other legs off the servo horn. We used a pair of angle cutters in house.

Note, if you would like to mount the vaccum assembly to something, such as a piece of wood, do that BEFORE attaching the syringe to the holder as the syringe will block one of the mounting holes.

145

146

Attach the syringe assembly to the holder using a 4-40 nylon insert lock nut and the screw you saved from step 5. Be sure the red servo horn points straight up when the servo is centered. This will ensure that the maximum range can be achieved with your assembly.
