Pneumatic cylinders are widely used throughout industry because of their relatively large output-power-to-size ratio, easy operation, safety, etc. However, precise control of these cylinders can be difficult due to their highly nonlinear friction characteristics and the compressibility of air. Consequently, their applications are limited to point-to-point control operations...
