Operational Reliability of Mechatronic Equipment Based on Pneumatic Artificial Muscle

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of the contribution is to describe reliability control in technical equipment with focus on maximizing overall system reliability by the means of optimal selection of basic elements or by proper redundancy of the elements. The contribution describes the possibilities of increasing the reliability of pneumatic artificial muscle by the means of passive reliability increase of its parts. Further, possibilities of reliability increase by the means of active and passive reserve are described, as a higher level of reliability control in technical systems. In conclusion, summary of particular ways of reliability increase is presented on a concrete example of artificial muscle.
