The kinematics and dynamics of a Stewart platform supported by six pneumocylinders are considered. The differential equations of motion are written, and the forces providing the fulfillment of the formulated law of motion are calculated. The inertia and weight of pneumocylinders are introduced into consideration to refine the equations of motion. The obtained equations are used to study the motion of a loaded Stewart platform, providing the stability of this motion by means of feedback control. Some numerical examples are given.
