In wearable pneumatic driving system, the small-sized and lightweight valve is important. In addition, the bulky battery to drive valves will be required. The purpose of our study is to develop a valve with lower electric energy consumption that can be used for a long time with a small battery. In our previous study, the valve with self-holding function that consumes electric power for a very short time (0.01s) only when the valve changes to open or close was proposed and tested. In this paper, the analytical model of the valve with self-holing function using permanent magnets is proposed and improved to estimate the performance of the valve theoretically. The behavior of magnets was observed by using high speed camera to know the detail behavior of both magnets and to identify system parameters. As a result, we can predict the whole response of the valve using the proposed model.
