Modelling of a novel rotary pneumatic muscle
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a mathematical model for a novel rotary pneumatic rotary actuator with potential applications in revolute direct robotic mechanisms. The analytical model describes the behaviour of the rotary pneumatic actuator and simulated results using this model are generated. Potential applications of this model are discussed in the context of soft model based controllers used in prosthetic devices.

Sizing Fluidic Muscle Using Static Force Model
Pneumatic actuators convert pneumatic energy into mechanical motion. This motion can be linear or rotary. Linear motion is feasible with pneumatic cylinders (e. g. single-acting cylinder, double-acting cylinder, rodless cylinder) and pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). Pneumatic artificial muscle is the newest and most promising type of pneumatic actuators. PAM is a membrane that expands radia...
متن کاملEPAIA: Design, modelling and control of a novel electro-pneumatic adaptable impedance actuator
In this contribution we present the novel electro-pneumatic adaptable impedance actuator (EPAIA) consisting of a brushless DC-motor and a rotational pneumatic actuator, applied in series to the gear train. The pneumatic actuator is employed as a pneumatic torsional spring with a continuously adaptable stiffness, controlled by air inflow and pressure control. Thus, a rotary variable stiffness ac...

متن کاملGranular Attrition due to Rotary Valve in a Pneumatic Conveying System
The rotary valve is a widely used mechanical device in many solids-handling industrial processes. However, it may also be responsible for most of the attrition effects occurring in a typical process. In this study, the attrition effects occurring in a rotary valve operating as a stand alone device and as part of a pneumatic conveying system are investigated. The Gwyn’s correlation was found to ...
