Simulation of pneumatic actuator position system for long stroke mounting movements

Abstract

Abstract The creation of new equipment and technical means for the implementation of promising processes and technologies is largely determined by the level of development of mechanical engineering. The most important requirements for technological equipment are an increase in work processes, flexibility and adaptability, automation, implementation of complex algorithms of executive movements. The mechanisms of executive movements ensure the operation of transporting, fixing and other target mechanisms, this largely determines the quality and efficiency of processing processes. Positional actuators have existing technical solutions. However, to a greater extent they relate to linear movements realized by rod cylinders, this does not allow adapting the results of existing research to the development of long-stroke positional movements. In the course of this work, an assessment was made of the existing types of drives and a displacement and position measurement sensors. The proposed positional pneumatic scheme allows solving the problem of positioning long-stroke displacements, its mathematical and computer models were built, and dynamic analysis and conclusions were made.
