Performance and Behavior of Seals for Pneumatic Spool Valves

چکیده

This article presents a seal development approach that takes actual operating conditions (mounting, sealed pressure, lubricating conditions), seal material, and counterpart machining tolerances into account. The approach was applied to the design of seals for a commercial pneumatic spool valve. A single seal geometry and two seat configurations were specified on the basis of finite element analysis and experimental tests. The goal was to develop a compact low-friction seal capable of operating dry in order to avoid the use of grease. The investigation focused on seals that are somewhat shorter (i.e., with a smaller radial height to permit application on new valve models) than existing commercial units but whose performance is not inferior. Prototypes of the new seal were manufactured and tested, and a specific device for measuring seal friction force and sealing was developed. The existing commercial seal was also investigated. The commercial seal and the proposed new designs were then compared.

Precise Position Control of a Pneumatic Servo Table System Consideration Dynamic Characteristics of Pneumatic Servo Valves

The performance of the pneumatic servo systems improved greatly as the pneumatic servo valves became commercially available in the late 1980s. At present, one of the best pneumatic servo valves has a dynamic response of 100 Hz and a spool position accuracy of 2% to the full stroke. By using these pneumatic servo valves, the precise position control by the pneumatic servo system has entered a pr...

Dynamic Constraint-Based Energy-Saving Control of Pneumatic Servo Systems

This paper proposes a control approach that can provide significant energy savings for the control of pneumatic servo systems. The control methodology is formulated by decoupling the standard four-way spool valve used for pneumatic servo control into two threeway valves, then using the resulting two control degrees of freedom to simultaneously satisfy a performance constraint (which for this pa...

Fuzzy gain scheduling of PID controller for stiction compensation in pneumatic control valve

Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling. For industrial scenarios, loss of execution due to nonlinearity in control valves is an imperative issue that should be t...
