Positioning accuracy of pneumatic servo actuators depends on parameters of the actuator and control system, and also on the friction force. This paper reports on new constructions of the pneumatic cylinders, which are the integral part of the servo actuator. Experimental examination of these servo actuators has shown that they could provide improved accuracy performance over the system with ordinary pneumatic cylinder.
