Electro-pneumatic servo valve is an electro-mechanical device which converts electric signals into a proper pneumatic flow rate or pressure. In order to improve the overall performance of pneumatic servo systems, electro-pneumatic servo valves are required, which have fast dynamic characteristics, no air leakage at a null point, and can be fabricated at a low-cost. The first objective of this research is to design and to fabricate a new electro-pneumatic servo valve which satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. In order to design the mechanism of the servo valve optimally, the flow inside the valve depending upon the position of spool was analyzed variously, and on the basis of such analysis results, the valve mechanism, which was formed by combination of the spool and the sleeve, was designed and manufactured. And a tester for conducting an overall performance test was designed and manufactured, and as a result of conducting the flow rate test, the pressure test and the frequency test on the developed pneumatic servo valve.

The benefits of the pneumatic valve with piezoelectric element are faster response times, low energy consumption, and the ability to be used in hazardous environments and field bus systems. In this paper, PZT actuator, 2 and 3 stages pneumatic valve were designed and manufactured. Also. characteristics of the pneumatic valve with piezoelectric element were tested with a testing system. It is confirmed that the PZT actuator is useful one for controlling the direction of pilot valve.

In this paper, pneumatic valve which consists of valve body, valve controller, nozzle and a multi-bender PZT actuator was suggested and fabricated. The fabricated pneumatic valve was experimented for performance evaluation. From the experimental results, we know that the flow rate of the suggested valve is 23 lpm at the pressure difference of 1bar and the maximum flow rate is 30 lpm at the pressure difference of 4 bar. The flow rates after endurance test of 9.8 million were 22.57 lpm and 28.62 lpm at the pressure difference of 1bar and 4bar, respectably. Finally, it was verified that the B10 life of the suggested pneumatic valve is over 50 million.

In order to improve the overall performance of pneumatic servo systems, electro-pneumatic servo valves are required, which have fast dynamic characteristic, no air leakage at null, and can be fabricated at a low-cost. The first objective of this research is to design and fabricate a new electro-pneumatic servo valve which satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. In this paper, we has been modeled as a system consisting of coupled electro-mechanic and mechanical subsystems. The appropriateness of the model has been verified by simulation. The simulation model resolves the valve body motion and the solenoid current at high accuracy. Also, we are calculate the displacement of spool and computed results show winding currents, magnetic actuator force, flux density line, displacement, velocity, back EMF, eddy current etc.

Electro-pneumatic valve is an electro-mechanical device which converts electric signal into pneumatic flow mu or pressure. A measurement of dynamic response time is very important to evaluate valve performance. Dynamic response time of electro-pneumatic valve has a variation accordance with valve types, operating way and test standard. In this study, automatic measurement system of dynamic response time is composed based on test condition of dynamic response time test standard(CETOP, JIS). Also, in this study test pressure variation characteristics accordance with variation of solenoid excitation power, and we developed dynamic response measurement system enable to compare of and analyze these two characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to find the effective dynamic characteristics of an improved pneumatic cushion cylinder with a spring type needle valve. The dynamic model represented the peak pressure control method when the pneumatic cushion cylinder is moving forward or backward in the horizontal direction. It was found from the simulation results that the peak pressure in the cushion chamber is affected by the spring, which helps to understand the performance of the pneumatic cushion cylinder and to improve or design a better cushion needle valve component. From the simulation results, the stability of pneumatic cushion cylinder with a spring type needle valve was superior and its cushion capability was also better than that without the spring.

Positioning performance with a normal pneumatic positioning system, is mainly affected by friction force on the actuator and nonlinear characteristics of the control valve. We proposed a positioning system which is composed of a pneumatic actuator and high speed control valve. for accurate and speedy positioning. Driving piston on the actuator is mounted with externally pressurized air bearings to clear the friction force. This paper studies a method in order that improves positioning ability of the pneumatic positioning system considering the nonlinear characteristics of the control valve and the actuator.
