Abstract: Digital hydraulics uses simple and cheap on/off valves in order to replace expensive proportional valves. Furthermore, with fast switching hydraulic converters the energy efficiency can be raised compared to proportional ...

Abstract: Stiction forces exerted by a fluid in a thin, quickly widening gap to its boundaries can become a strongly limiting factor of the performance of technical devices, like compressor valves or hydraulic on–off valves. In ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the dynamic effects of an electrohydraulic drive that uses a counterbalance valve for rod volume compensation. It shows that local stability analysis is not sufficient in this particular case to get ...

Abstract: Check valve dynamics plays an important role in many fluid systems, such as in compressors, hydraulic pumps, and hydraulic switching converters. Plate type check valves are a frequently employed valve type in dynamically ...

Abstract: In this technical brief, a novel hydraulic drive for large forces and power ratings at relatively high operating frequencies combining variable displacement control and hydraulic digital control is introduced. Basic analog ...
