The aim of this paper is to perform a finite element analysis that will have the ability to predict the seal performance characteristics, such as deformation, contact load and friction and also is to provide a means of potential seal designs, which can reduce the time and cost of designing the performance of the seal. The material property tests of elastomer seal are performed to obtain the hyperelastic properties and The Mooney-Rivlin constants are determined from these test results. A 2D modelling of the seal cross section is performed to simulate the contact behavior between the seal on the piston and the cylinder bore under operation conditions. The deformation behavior, contact load and friction of an elastomer seal is analyzed by a finite element method which performs three analytic phases of interference fit, the variations of pneumatic pressure and piston movement under the operational conditions.

This paper presents a robust motion tracking control of a cylinder-toggle servomechanism for injection molding machines. Virtual design model has been developed for a five-point type toggle mechanism. A sliding function is defined and combined with PID control to accommodate mismatches between the real plant and the linear model used. From tracking control simulations, it is shown that significant reduction in position tracking error is achieved with clamping force build-up through the use of proposed control scheme.

Hydraulic servo cylinders have been used to control accurately a large machine in power plant. Especially, Piston head and bush of servo cylinder is assembled sleeve and piston head and bush made of Cu alloy and pad sealing part. A damages of sleeve and piston head, bush are caused by friction and wear. Thus, It is necessary to examine friction and wear characteristics of Cu alloys for the piston head and bush. In this study, to be reliable on the piston and cylinder parts, dry friction and wear experiments were carried out with Cu alloys of four kinds of AlBC, PBC, BC and BS using reciprocating friction tester of pin on disk type. From this study, the result was shown that the AlBC and PBC with alloy elements were excellent to resistance wear. As the sliding speed was increased, the wear loss of PBC decreased than another Cu alloy.

본 논문에서는 RF 모듈을 탐재한 Atmega 시스템 설계를 통한 잠수함 원격 제어 시스템을 구현한다. 본 연구에서 제작한 RC 잠수함은 실제 잠수함의 원리와 비슷하게 잠항을 할 때는 소형펌프로 밸러스트탱크에 물을 채우고, 잠수를 할 때 수직타와 추진력을 이용하여 잠항을 한다. 이와 반대로 부상은 소형펌프로 밸러스트탱크 안에 물을 배수하여 WTC(방수실린더)안의 기압과 수직타와 추진력을 이용하여 부상을 한다. RC 잠수함은 크게 외부와 내부 그리고 방수를 하기 위한 WTC(방수 실린더)로 나누어진다. 송신 부는 RF 모듈, MCU(Atmega128), 키패드, 캐릭터LCD로 구성되며 수신부는 MCU(Atmega128), RF 모듈, 제어장치들로 구성한다. 제어장치에는 모형 잠수함은 추진력을 위하여 DC 모터에 스크류(프로펠러)를 장착하고, 방향전환 및 잠항과 부상을 위하여 RC 서보 모터를 사용하고 잠항과 부상을 위하여 펌프를 사용한다.

Pneumatic control systems have the potential to provide high output power to weight and size ratios at a relatively low cost. However, they are mainly employed in open-loop control applications where positioning repeatability is not of great importance. This paper presents precision positioning control of pneumatic servo cylinder with on-off valve, Pneumatic low-friction cylinder with servo valve and DC servo motor under parameter variations. Basically positioning control uses PID controller, where needs a linearized model. A neural network is added to a PID controller to compensator nonlinearity of the system and an influence of friction force is consider as disturbance. The performances of the proposed algorithms were compared by experiments with them of PID controller. From those experiments is was shown that the proposed algorithms are more efficient about settling time, steady 7tate error and overshoot than PID control algorithm.

This paper shows a perfonnance analysis for pneumatic servo cylinder. The pistons without seal have partly cylindrical and conical shapes. 2 dimensional Reynolds equation and FD(finite differential) numerical techniques are utilized for the perfonnance analysis. The relationship among self-centering forces and leakage flows are investigated. Also, optimal design values for a servo cylinder are presented. A prototype of servo cylinder which had rod bearing with four pockets, five pockets, and six pockets was manufactured respectively.

Because a hydraulic actuator has high power and force densities, this allows the weight of the robot's limbs to be reduced. This allows for good dynamic characteristics and high energy efficiency. Thus, hydraulic actuators are used in some exoskeleton robots and quadrupedal robots that require high torque. Force control is useful for robot compliance with a user or environment. However, force control of a hydraulic robot is difficult because a hydraulic servo system is highly nonlinear from a control perspective. In this study, a nonlinear model was used to develop a simulation program for a hydraulic servo system consisting of a servo valve, transmission lines, and a cylinder. The problems and considerations with regard to the force control performance for a hydraulic servo system were investigated. A force control method using the nonlinear model was proposed, and its effect was evaluated with the simulation program.
