Abstract
Positioning or tracking via pneumatic servosystems has not been widely used in practical applications due to high cost, complexity and susceptibility of the system to fluid contamination. In this paper a low cost, simple, pneumatic servo system is developed to achieve accurate tracking as well as positioning control without the use of conventional servovalves. This control system is essentially an on-off servo system, which utilizes a PWM controller incorporating with the PI action. Since this control system includes critical system parameters such as the pulse frequency, pulse width of the controller, and the feedback gain parameter, a series of experiments was performed to investigate the effects of these parameters on the steady state and transient response characteristics.
