Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method for monitoring a functional state of a pressure-driven actuator which comprises an actuator compartment defined at least in portions by a flexibly deformable wall, the actuator being actuated by applying pressure to the actuator compartment by means of an operating pressure supply, a work process being carried out to actuate the actuator, which process is accompanied by the actuator transitioning from a starting configuration to an end configuration. The pressure the pressure applied to the actuator compartment is measured depending on time by means of a sensor apparatus during the transition from the starting configuration to the end configuration. The invention also relates to a pressure-driven actuator.
Method for monitoring a functional state of a pressure-driven actuator which comprises an actuator compartment defined at least in portions by a flexibly deformable wall, the actuator being actuated by applying pressure to the actuator compartment by means of an operating pressure supply,
Pressure-driven actuator which comprises an actuator compartment defined at least in portions by a flexibly deformable wall such that the actuator can be actuated by applying pressure to the actuator compartment, the actuator transitioning from a starting configuration into an end configuration under deformation of the flexibly deformable wall, characterised in that a sensor apparatus is provided for the time-dependent measurement of the pressure applied to the actuator compartment.
