🌟 Exciting Research in Hydraulic Drives! 🌟 Our colleague Helmut Kogler, together with Andreas Plöckinger and Paul Foschum, has published a fascinating article: 📜 Cybernetic Proportional System for a Hydraulic Cylinder Drive Using Proportional Seat-Type Valves. 🔗 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/g-jR3JUv The paper explores innovative approaches to hydraulic cylinder drives, such as the realization of the Independent Metering (IM) concept as an open-loop control. Particularly noteworthy: measurements on a real excavator demonstrate both the benefits in controllability and potential energy savings. 🔧 The focus is on increasing efficiency and enhancing flexibility, addressing the challenges of traditional proportional valves. This research offers exciting perspectives for practical applications! 📌 #Hydraulic #Independent #Metering #OpenLoop #Cybernetic #Proportional #SeatType #Valves 💬 What are your thoughts on combining human-machine interaction with innovative valve technology? Let’s discuss! 🚀
#Article 📜 Cybernetic Proportional System for a Hydraulic Cylinder Drive Using Proportional Seat-Type Valves by Helmut Kogler, Andreas Plöckinger and Paul Foschum 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g-jR3JUv MDPI; Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH (LCM) #hydraulic #independent #metering #openloop #cybernetic #proportional #seattype #valves #Abstract Hydraulic cylinders are well known as cheap and robust actuators for moving heavy loads, especially in harsh environments. For this reason, they are often used in construction machines such as excavators. Basically, the hydraulic cylinders are controlled by four-way proportional spool valves, resulting in poor energy efficiency due to resistance control. Furthermore, because all valve edges are located at the same spool, common proportional valves suffer from limited flexibility with regard to different loads. Independent metering (IM) is a well-known strategy for making proportional hydraulic drives more efficient and more flexible because each port of the actuator can be connected individually to pressure or tank by independent two-way proportional valves. In this paper, the IM concept is realized as an open-loop control for a hydraulic cylinder drive, which, in combination with a human operator, constitutes a so-called cybernetic proportional system (CPS). The piston velocity commanded by the operator is controlled by the compensation of the static characteristics of the proportional seat-type valves. Basic simulations show the benefits and also the problems of open-loop independent metering. Furthermore, measurements on one actuator of a real excavator regarding controllability and energy consumption are presented.
