Modeling of the Controlled Air Spring

Abstract

The pneumatic springs are frequently used as a machine component. They are mainly used for passive vibration damping with the possibility to regulate the working height of the springs. The paper describes the creation of a mathematical model of a spring controlled thru the PID regulator. At conclusion are summarized the limits of PID control and sketches the future possibility of substituting the PID controller by a neural network.
