Investigation of the parameters of a rotary actuator for use in the designs of grippers for fruits and vegetables

The article is devoted to determining the deviation of the angle of rotation of a soft actuator, depending on the pressure inside it. Several samples were made, which differ in wall thickness. The study was carried out on an experimental pneumatic installation, which has the ability to determine the angle of deviation when pressure is applied. Based on the results obtained, the dependence of the angle of rotation on the pressure inside the cavity and the thickness of the actuator wall was determined. As a result of the studies of twisted actuators, regression equations were obtained, which allow determining the dependence of the angle of rotation on the applied pressure.
