A Flexible Adjustment and Control System for Hydraulic Machines

Abstract

Due to the advantages of hydraulic systems with variable displacement, it was necessary to design a control system that can adjust the pressure, flow, power or a combination of these features, that can be easily integrated into the pump body without changing its mechanical construction. The objective of this work was to study the dynamic behavior of this electro-hydraulic control system. To achieve these objectives, first the adjusting system was analyzed by numerical simulations, and then a stand was constructed for testing the performance of these adjustable pumps. It was shown that this control system is superior to existing systems.
