Mathematical Description and Static Characteristics of the Spring Actuator with Pneumatic Artificial Muscle

Abstract:

The article is focused on the actuator with one pneumatic artificial muscle and spring which counteracts the tensile force of the artificial muscle. Such a solution requires only one inlet and one outlet electromechanical pneumatic valve. It is suitable for the synthesis of so-called low cost bioservosystems. The paper presents mathematical description and static characteristics of individual parts of the actuator and also characteristics of the all mechanism.
