Zhang and J. Derkx and A. Trangärd and J. Larsson}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Pilot stages are one of the most common positioners and regulators in industry. In this paper, we present two novel concepts for pilot stages with low power consumption to regulate a pneumatic device. Pilot 1, first concept, is designed based on a conventional frame core electro-magnetic actuator and a leaf spring to control the air flow and pilot 2 has an axisymmetric actuator and spring made of non-oriented electrical steel. Concepts are simulated in a system modeling tool to study their dynamic behavior. Both concepts are prototyped and tested. Experimental results are comprehensively analyzed and compared. The most promising concept that consumes less than 8 mW is highlighted and presented.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {11}, number = {5}, year = {2017}, pages = {1003 - 1011}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10007046}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/125}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 125, 2017}, }
