ABSTRACT
This article presents an experimental studies of an innovative solution for a system of two pneumatic cylinders with a synchronizing element, loaded with a force of different values. The aim of the research was to obtain the speed characteristics of two piston rods of pneumatic cylinders with the use of a synchronizing element. A comparative analysis of received characteristics was conducted and the criterion of the possibility of applying the synchronizing MZ_SYNCH element was adopted. The element for synchronizing the movement of two piston rods of pneumatic cylinders was called MZ_SYNCH for short. On the basis of the research results it was concluded that the system of two pneumatic actuators with the synchronizing element MZ_SYNCH can be used in rehabilitation devices for passive exercise of lower limbs.
