Abstract

Motion systems with speed control mode are widely used in industry. This paper reports on an open loop pneumatic actuator that provides reciprocating motion with constant velocity mode. Computer simulations of the dynamic behavior of these actuators show their acceptable performance and high robustness. In addition, the estimation method, which allows performing the calculation of the actuator key parameters, is described. Design of the pneumatic actuator for a printing machine has been considered as the practical example.
