Pneumatic cylinders: modelling and feedback force-control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we model, analyze, and control an experimental set-up of a servo pneumatic cylinder. The dynamic behaviour of pneumatic actuator systems is dominant by nonlinear functions. First, a mathematical model for the pneumatic system is derived. Secondly, we investigate the mathematical properties of this model and show boundedness and positiveness of certain variables. Thirdly, we prove that a proportional output feedback controller with saturation achieves practical tracking a wide class of reference trajectories. We verify the theoretical results and the effectiveness of the control by experiments.

A Sliding Mode Fuzzy Force Tracking Controller for Pneumatic Cylinders
The problem of control of force exerted by pneumatic cylinders on the environment is of interest in industrial automation and systems such as legged robots. In this paper, a sliding mode fuzzy force control algorithm is proposed for pneumatic cylinders. The environment is assumed to be “soft” or compliant and modeled as a spring. The advantage of the new controller is that being based on fuzzy ...

متن کاملSelf-tuning control of a low-friction pneumatic actuator under the influence of gravity
Traditionally the positioning of pneumatic actuators has been limited to movement between preset stops or switches. The restricting factors preventing the use of pneumatic cylinders for accurate servo-control arise from highly nonlinear dynamic properties such as air compressibility and friction effects, which combine to severely degrade time response and positional accuracy. Many real systems ...
متن کاملTest Rig for Friction Force Measurements in Pneumatic Components and Seals
This article describes the design of a new test rig for measuring the friction force in pneumatic components and seals. The test rig was designed in order to measure both the overall friction force in a pneumatic cylinder or a valve as a whole, and the single contribution to friction force caused by the sliding seals. To this end, special fixtures and devices were designed and manufactured in o...
متن کاملNonlinear model predictive control of a linear axis based on pneumatic muscles
This paper presents a nonlinear optimal control scheme for a mechatronic system that consists of a guided carriage and an antagonistic pair of pneumatic muscles as actuators. Modelling leads to a system of nonlinear differential equations including polynomial approximations of the volume characteristic as well as the force characteristic of the pneumatic muscles. The proposed control has a casc...
