Stanimir Čajetinac, Dragan Šešlija, Vlastimir Nikolić, Milica Todorović

Abstract: In this paper different realizations of PWM control of pneumatic actuators are compared. The actuators are controlled by PLC and two 3/2 valves. Quality of tracking and air consumptions for different realizations of control are compared.

Key words: Pneumatic actuator, PWM control, compressed air consumption.
