Special applications of pneumatic cylinders

Abstract

The Aventics Hungary Ltd. has organized the twelfth International Aventics Pneumobile Competition, which includes the design and construction of pneumatic-drive. We participated in this year's competition, with my team at the University of Miskolc. In pneumobiles, the first task to be solved is to convert the alternating motion of the cylinders into rotary motion. I designed this for this purpose, a unique gear rack-gear unit that has been the heart of our pneumobile for years.
