I am disappointed every time I see the flow coefficient C v used to size a valve without consideration given to the other components in a pneumatic circuit. In the old days, a focus on the valve alone ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

Efficient design of pneumatic systems promotes sustainable production, reduces overall costs and increases dynamic characteristics of the machine. The correct choice—and design—of the system is the ...

Engineers have created a four-legged soft robot that doesn't need any electronics to work. The robot only needs a constant source of pressurized air for all its functions, including its controls and ...
