Numerical and Experimentical Study of Motion Control Using Pressure Feedback

2013

This paper is concerned with the inherent oscillatory nature of pressure compensated motion control of a hydraulic cylinder subjected to a negative load and suspended by means of an overcenter valve. A pressure feedback scheme that indirectly eliminates the oscillations is investigated. The indirect control scheme utilizes pressure feedback to electronically compensate the metering-out allowing for the removal of the compensator and, subsequently, elimination of the oscillations. The suggested electronic compensation scheme is implemented and examined in a single degree-of-freedom test rig actuated by means of a double acting hydraulic cylinder. The control scheme is compared with other con…
