Right-sizing pneumatic motion systems
designers tended to significantly oversize the valve. This approach is no longer acceptable. Given today's demands for optimized performance, lower costs, and minimal air consumption, a more-exacting method is needed to properly size pneumatic motion systems. provides a standardized means of gaging

Servocontrol with pneumatic actuators
but it quacks more like a motor. In 2002, the founders of Sunstream Scientific set out to address the deficiencies of early pneumatic servos with a comprehensive, clean-sheet design. After multiple years of development, the result is a sophisticated linear actuator capable of precise and responsive motion

Closed-Loop Pneumatic Control In A Compact Package
A newly developed pneumatic-control system provides an alternative to electrical or electromechanical motion control. The Pneumatic Control System (PCS) is a compact electronic controller with pneumatic valves that accurately positions an actuator rod or rotating shaft and holds it in position even

Servopneumatics offers reliable, economical motion
Advances in controls and networks combined with components that pack more punch have opened the door to more-precise, durable, and economical pneumatic systems. When it comes to motion control, conventional thinking usually produces designs with electromechanical drives and computer-controlled

Designing Motion-Control Systems With Electric Cylinders
. Motion-control systems that require linear movement can be built around a variety of different actuators. The most common types fall into linear actuators, linear motors, and precision positioning tables. Linear actuators, generally the lowest cost approach, can be hydraulic, pneumatic, or electromechanical

Choosing the Best Lead Screw for a Linear Motion Application
for an application. For vertical motion, gravity normally keeps a downward or negative force on actuators, thus eliminating the effects of backlash. In some applications, an external force may act against the actuator, such as products on a conveyor belt or a pneumatic cylinder, which also gets rid
