This paper studies the comparative analysis on two different internal cushion devices (the types of needle and relief valve) used to absorb the energy which is generated when the pneumatic cylinder moves with the load at meter-out speed control system. The effect at varying the piston velocity under same driving condition is mainly investigated. The simulation results on pressure in the cushion chamber and the dynamic behavior of the relief valve type cushion device are compared with the needle valve type. Design and performance are improved with the cushion configuration of better quality at high-speed pneumatic cylinder. Based on the relation between absorbed energy and impact energy at cushion process, cushion performance at pneumatic cylinder is evaluated.

This paper presents a simulation model of a double-acting high-speed pneumatic cylinder with a relief valve type cushion mechanism. The model predicts piston motion, mass flow rate, pressure and temperature time histories of cushion chamber. Of interest here is to investigate the cushioning effect of varying the piston and piston-rod diameter, cushion ring diameter and length, and stoke in cushion mechanism. As a result, this cushion mechanism is found to be adequate under high-speed driving of pneumatic cylinders. The simulation model proposed here will be very useful to analyze the dynamic characteristics and to improve or design the better cushion mechanism in high-speed pneumatic cushion cylinders.

This paper proposes a new type of piezoactuator-driven valve system. The piezoceramic actuator bonded to both sides of a flexible beam surface makes a movement required to control the pressure at the flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic valve system. After establishing a dynamic model, an appropriate size of the valve system is designed and manufactured. Subsequently, a robust H$_{\infty}$ control algorithm is formulated in order to achieve accurate tracking control of the desired pressure. The controller is experimentally realized and control performance for the sinusoidal pressure trajectory is presented in time domain. The control bandwidth of the valve system, which directly represents the fastness, is also evaluated in the frequency domain.

Due to the tendency to use high speed pneumatic cylinders to improve productivity, cushioning devices are adopted to decelerate the piston motion of pneumatic cylinders to reduce noise, vibration, and impact. This paper presents a comparison of the cushion characteristics of a high speed pneumatic cylinder with a relief valve type cushioning device. The system parameters selected are the damping coefficient, Coulomb friction, heat transfer coefficient, and cracking pressure of the relief valve in the air cushioning device. The integral of the time multiplied square error (ITSE) is used to quantitative measure the cushioning performance to assess the effect of varying these. The cushioning performance achieved good results when the ITSE is a minimum value. In a comparison of the piston displacement and velocity with the variations in system parameters, the heat transfer coefficients are not as significantly affected as the other. Also, the cracking pressure of the relief valve is mainly affected by the pressure and temperature in the cushion chamber.

The piezoceramic actuator bonded to both sides of a flexible beam surface makes a movement required to control the pressure at the flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic system. After establishing a dynamic model, an appropriate size of the valve system is designed and manufactured. Subsequently, a sliding mode controller which is known to be robust to uncertainties such as disturbance is formulated in order to achieve accurate regulating and tracking control of the desired pressure. The controller is experimentally realized and control performances for various pressure trajectories are presented in time domain. The control bandwidth of the valve system which directly represents the fastness is also evaluated in the frequency domain.

공기구동 제어밸브는 여러 유형의 발전소에서 유체계통의 유량을 제어하거나 탱크의 수위를 조절하는 중요한 기능을 수행하며 발전소 수명기간 동안 성능이 보장되어야 한다. 공기구동 제어밸브는 공기구동기에 공기를 공급하거나 배기하여 작동시키며, 다양한 기능을 하는 부속기기로 구성된 제어설비를 이용하여 공기량을 조절함으로서 밸브 위치를 제어한다. 본 논문에서는 2인치 공기구동기에 I/P 변환기, 포지셔너 등이 장착된 제어밸브 동작모사 실험 장치를 이용하여 공기공급배관에서의 공기누설, 밸브 패킹마찰력 변화, 포지셔너 설정 불량 등을 모사하고, 약 67% 개도에서 ${\pm}2%$ 이하 제어구간에서의 밸브-구동기 거동을 측정하여 비교하였다.

공기압 밸브는 자동화 시스템에 공급되는 공기를 제어하는 기능을 지닌 핵심부품으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 공기압 밸브가 고장이 발생하면 설치되는 시스템의 특성상 전체 시스템에 영향을 미쳐 막대한 손실을 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이로 인하여 최근 신뢰성에 대한 중요성 및 소비자의 요구수준이 날로 증대되고 있어 밸브의 수명을 예측하여 제품의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위한 수명분포, 수명열화 특성 등과 같은 연구가 널리 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 공기압 밸브의 수명예측을 위한 핵심요소인 모수 도출 및 제안을 위하여, 최근 널리 사용되고 있는 플러그인형 공기압 매니폴드 밸브의 척도모수 및 $B_{10}$ 수명값을 완전데이터 수명관측 방법으로 측정하였으며, 수명분포 특성을 확인하기 위하여 상관계수값을 이용한 분포 적합성 검토와 주요성능 결정항목인 동적응답과 누설이 수명에 따라 열화되는 특성을 분석한 결과를 제시한다.

Two kinds of piezoelectric actuator are applied to the valve for controlling the direction, the flow and the pressure of the fluid. One is a stack type piezoelectric actuator which has very fast response characteristics but very tiny displacement. The other is a bender type piezoelectric actuator which has also fast response characteristics but lower than the stack type one, and has longer displacement than the stack type one. So, the bender type piezoelectric actuator has advantage to apply to the valve for controlling a large amount of flow and fast on-off operating. In this study, the bender type piezoelectric pneumatic valve for color sorter is designed and fabricated. The new type high speed piezo valve with the both side supporting mechanism for high operating frequency and high reliability is discussed for separating the foreign body from the grains. Finally, the performance characteristics of a fabricated valve are analyzed and the frequency characteristics are also discussed for substituting the conventional type solenoid actuator.

A Study on the flow-structure characteristics of a 3/2 way pneumatic valve is essential for optimizing the performance of ship engines. It is important for the valve to have desirable safety factor am reduced weight from the safety and economic point of view. In this study, we capture flow-structure characteristics of 3/2 way pneumatic valve. This is optimized based on the proper design criteria. The air at a pressure of 30 bar is the working fluid which is made to fill in the tack in short time. This time is defined as the filling time. The flow and structure analysis is performed for three cases under maximum stress and safety factor. In optimum design, considering the flow-structure characteristics, we model twenty seven cases by using DOE(design of experiments) method Here, analysis for each cases is performed and then metamodels are created We obtain optimized parameters and then analysis is repeated to compare with the initial model. Finally, the feasibility of the optimum design is verified.
