Pump controlled hydraulic cylinder with large inertia loads

Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis is centered around the commissioning, testing, modeling and experimental validation of a pump-controlled hydraulic actuator capable of controlling large inertia loads. Prior to the thesis an experimental test bed had been constructed mechanically and hydraulically, and placed at the University. The primary focus of this thesis has been finalizing the experimental test bed in terms of building the electrical setup, placing instrumentation, developing software, tuning the electrical motors, followed by commissioning and testing of the experimental system. At the time of completing the thesis, the system has been completed, successfully comm…
