Abstract:
Low friction pneumatic cylinders are now being considered in applications for which only electric motors or hydraulics were previously considered suitable. One potential application of low friction pneumatics is robotic for metallurgical operations where the high power to weight ratio and low cost could be exploited. As part of an ongoing project to develop a pneumatic robot, this paper presents the kinematic analysis of pneumatic cylinder characteristics that simplifies controller design. Using mathematical modeling and simulation, non-linearity of modern pneumatic systems have been investigated. The derived models give an excellent representation of the system, despite the inclusion of a simplified friction model.

Abstract:
AbstractThe automation of instruments and tools (e.g. bone drill) or robotic devices (e.g. needle positioning robot for prostate surgery) for use in interventional MRI (iMRI) is still challenging due to a lack of accurate, affordable and completely metal-free actuators and motors. Inspired by biological muscles, a bionic equivalent known as the fluid muscle actuator (which can be operated pneumatically or hydraulically) is well-known in the mechanical engineering industry. Fluid muscle actuators have multiple beneficial characteristics: they are simple, self-returning, low-friction and can produce relatively high actuation forces at low diameters and pressures. We present two novel designs for metal-free, pneumatic stepper motors for potential application in iMRI. Our stepper motors are powered by simple pneumatic muscles, which are assembled from low-cost off-the-shelf components. Besides, the components of the stepper motor demonstrators were 3Dprinted using a stereolithographic additive manufacturing process (SLA printing). We evaluate the effect of pneumatic muscle length on contractile force and length. Our results demonstrated the functional feasibility of the pneumatic muscle-powered and fully MRI-compatible stepper motor designs. In a next step, we will optimize the motor´s design, characterize their performance and reliability, and use the stepper motors to power a micropositioning device in iMRI-phantom tests.

Abstract:
The history of robotics began with fluid power around 1960, at which time, all robots were driven by pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. Subsequently, in the mid-1980s, electromagnetic motors replaced the mainstay of robot actuators, while fluid-powered robots almost completely disappeared. However, in recent years, by utilizing the unique features of flexibility and lightness of pneumatics and the high power and robustness of hydraulics, several robots with unique characteristics, which cannot be realized with conventional electrical motors, are being developed. The author has developed various types of new fluid power actuators, including pneumatic and hydraulic types, to realize novel robots with unique features. This paper reviews the author’s previous works on fluid power actuators and robots driven by them. Furthermore, it presents prospective robots that can be realized using fluid power.

Abstract:
In industry, pneumatic actuating systems have been widely employed due to their distinct advantages. However, pneumatic actuators have rather low energy efficiency, around 23-30% in general. The work described in this thesis is to study potential strategies for improvement of pneumatic actuator energy efficiency by recovering the exhaust air energy using a scroll-type air motor. The scroll-type air motor is a relatively new technology, and its unique compact structure determines that it can work at high energy efficiency. The mathematical models for vane-type air motors with arbitrary number of vanes and for scroll-type air motors are derived, which cover their thermodynamic process and responses. A complete mathematical model for the pneumatic-electrical system is developed. The simulation studies are carried for initial investigation of the working process for the electrical-pneumatic system and its dynamic responses. A closed-loop control strategy is proved to be essential. An experimental test rig for this system has been built in the laboratory, and the test results are described. The simulation study and the laboratory test results demonstrate that the proposed system is realistic for energy recovery while a proper control strategy is imposed and the overall system energy efficiency can be improved under reasonable constraint conditions.

Abstract:
Hydraulic or pneumatic motors are replacing electromagnetic servomotors in many applications. It is important for engineers and designers to select adequate actuators in given servo applications. In a previous paper, Nakano had predicted the performance of future electric or hydraulic motors after that there have been many advances in actuators. In this paper the performance of hydraulic and pneumatic motors, and electric AC servo and DC motors has been calculated, surveyed, and evaluated on the basis of specifications listed for them in current catalogs and nonpublic data. We selected 765 different kinds of electric motors and 404 different kinds of fluid power motors available in the market. Power density, torque–inertia ratio, power rate, and power rate density were selected as the performance indexes for comparison. Rated power and torque were found to be nearly proportional to motor mass and moment of inertia, respectively. The electromagnetic motors have developed high performance with large rated torque and a smaller moment of inertia. The newly developed small-size hydraulic motor was also included in the performance index, and its characteristics were plotted. The compact size of fluid power actuators has great potential for power rating or quick response.

Abstract:
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) has become the preferred method for medical diagnosis due to high resolution images and lack of ionizing radiation. Recently, the potential for using MRI to obtain real-time image feedback for targeted therapeutic procedures such as targeted biopsies and injections has been explored [1]. Some devices designed for intra-MRI use exist and more such devices are currently being developed and researched. Procedures often require precise positional targeting, such as injections and biopsies, and an MRI safe controlled-motion stepper motor is an ideal choice for actuating these mechanical devices. Some such drivers have been developed, but for various reasons, none are considered to be the standard for MRI use at this time. Therefore, a new design combining certain aspects of previous motors has been developed, making use of newer three-dimensional (3D) printers with extreme accuracy. Presented is a small, low-cost plastic four-cylinder piston stepper motor which is actuated by pressurized air. Connected to a plastic gearbox, this motor is capable of driving a rotational shaft at torques of up to 20 N·mm by increments of 3.6 degrees.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to model and analyze the dynamics of a hot gas vane motor for later design optimization work. The pneumatic motor is a portable direct drive actuator that is intended as an alternative to battery-powered electromagnetic motors. It is believed that the vane motor could eventually replace other solution for portable power generation. An optimal design of the motor is desirable to maximize portability and efficiency. Modeling the device will make it possible to optimize the mechanical efficiency by altering the geometry of the motor’s vanes and respective chambers. While the efficiency of the motor is affected to a great extent by its geometry, losses from leakage and friction will also be considered. For the device to remain portable, there are limitations on the size of the final design which will restrict the optimal efficiency of the vane motor.

Abstract:
Modern applications in robotics such as teleoperations and haptics require high performance force actuators. Pneumatic actuators have significant advantages over electrical motors in terms of force-to-mass ratio. However, position and force control of these actuators in applications that require high bandwidth is not trivial because of the compressibility of air and highly non-linear flow through pneumatic system components. In this paper, we develop a detailed model of a pneumatic actuator system comprised of a double acting cylinder and a proportional servo valve to be used in position, force or hybrid position and force control.

During the present investigation, the pneumatic stepping motor concept was explored by designing, fabricating, and testing a specific motor for a target injection molding base application. In order to improve the actuator performance, which is used to drive the valves, a stepping motor driven by a sequence of digital solenoid valves utilizing pressurized air was designed to enhance torque capacity and reduce energy consumption, while maintaining a fixed position for a long period of time. Similar to electromagnetic stepping motors, this pneumatic stepping motor can be driven by a simple switching circuit, which only moves one step for each driving signal without a fading rotation. This mechanism yields an effective system for speed and position control. Although the speed of pressurized air switching is limited by the response time of air solenoid valves that cause a lower rotation output speed, the holding torque and efficiency of this actuator was found to be relatively higher. By using a set of circular pistons aligned so as to actuate on axial wobble gear, the motor produced a very unique motion between the gear and rotor, causing the beneficial characteristics. In this study, the performance of the new motor was tested and compared to a similar size of electromagnetic stepping motor, as well. Thus, this study provides fundamental concepts to develop a suitable actuator for control valves in injection molding at low cost.
