SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE PARTIAL EQUILIBRIUM OF AN ELECTROPNEUMATIC POSITIONINGSYSTEM, CAUSE OF THE STICKING AND RESTARTING PHENOMENON

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present the unsticking piston after stop stage of a fluid power system. This phenomenon is a real problem for the industrial development of pneumatic technology. Less apparent in hydraulic systems but also present, this phenomenon will be described, analysed and a method will be proposed to predict it. Simulation helps to explain certain experimental results obtained in positioning linear actuators.
