CHOICE OF THE PNEUMATIC DRIVE BRAKING METHOD AND SCHEME ENSURING THE SET PARAMETERS OF THE TRANSIENT PROCESS

The article presents a method for selecting the principle of braking (control) for a pneumatic drive, the braking scheme, and the control maps of pneumatic distributors. These choices provide the most rational form of the transient process in the drive, aligning with the kinematic requirements of the control object. The paper also discusses the specifics of computer modeling of processes in a pneumatic drive with braking achieved by altering the structure of commutation links. This approach allows for the determination of the optimal braking distance during the calculation process. A distinctive feature of the proposed method is that, in addition to ensuring a rational form of the transient process, it significantly reduces compressed air consumption.
