The Physics of Air Compressibility: Why Pneumatic Cylinders Experience “Bounce”Learn why cylinder speed, trapped air, cushioning, friction, and control tuning cause pneumatic cylinder bounce, plus how to diagnose and stop it.
Analyzing Choked Flow Phenomena in High-Speed Cylinder PortsIdeal dry air chokes near p2/p1 = 0.528. Learn to measure cylinder-port pressure, locate restrictions, and verify flow for high-speed strokes.
Adiabatic vs. Isothermal Expansion: The Thermodynamics of Cylinder ActuationCompare cylinder models using measured 23 K heating and 17 K cooling data to separate ideal expansion laws from real pneumatic actuation and sizing errors.
How Spool Underlap, Overlap, and Zero-Lap Affect Cylinder ControlCompare 3 spool-lap conditions, separate lap from valve center function, and learn how neutral leakage, dead zone, feedback, and load affect cylinder control.
How to Tune a PID Loop for a Proportional Valve and Cylinder SystemTune a pneumatic PID loop with 10–90% rise-time traces, anti-windup, derivative filtering, valve-neutral checks, and load-range validation for cylinder motion.
The Impact of Deadband on Proportional Valve Control AccuracyLearn how proportional-valve deadband differs from hysteresis, how a 0.4% model rating affects control, and how to measure and compensate it in practice.
The Physics of Quick Exhaust Valves and Their Impact on Cylinder SpeedUnderstand how a 3-port quick exhaust valve changes cylinder speed through choked flow, falling back pressure, and measured 55-cycle pressure tests for sizing.
