However, the body of this type of actuators also suffers from high mechanical stress, leading to a decrease in the hose wall thickness, which leads to increased leakages between chambers. One way to potentially minimize this problem is to impose the force instead of the displacement between rollers. This paper describes the model and experimental characteristics of a new prototype of a linear pneumatic peristaltic actuator where either the force or the displacement between rollers can be imposed. Namely, experimental friction characteristics and the leakage between chambers are determined in the configuration where the force between rollers is imposed. Lastly, a third-order linear model is experimentally identified. Therefore, this study establishes the basis for future research focused on the service life and leakage obtained whenever the force between rollers is imposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info11020076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,31]],"date-time":"2020-01-31T05:55:46Z","timestamp":1580450146000},"page":"76","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Model and Experimental Characteristics of a Pneumatic Linear Peristaltic Actuator"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Falc\u00e3o Carneiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LAETA-INEGI, Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5439-0329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Bravo","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAETA-INEGI, Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Gomes de Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAETA-INEGI, Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miranda","family":"Fateri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aalen University, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Beethovenstra\u00dfe 1, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1533","DOI":"10.1007\/s00170-014-6518-8","article-title":"Accurate motion control of a servopneumatic system using integral sliding mode control","volume":"77","author":"Carneiro","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
