Hydraulic and electro-hydraulic control systems

This publication covers control sytems that employ proportional control elements, e.g., proportional control valves and hydrostatic transmissions, and gives extensive treatment to system modelling including algorithms for computer-based analysis. The three main features of this book are: Description and analysis of closed loop servo systems, and open and closed loop systems using proportional control valves; A novel rationalised approach to a wide range of system configurations, including flow feedback systems; A new modular computer program structure including automatic system optimisation, performance trends as a function of any independent variable, and transient response to any given duty cycle. The book essentially studies and analyses force and motion control systems, from simple hydraulic to complex electro-hydraulic control systems, bridges the gap in knowledge between the control engineer and the average hydraulic application engineer, and provides a contribution towards the wider application of hydraulic systems. This second enlarged edition includes an entirely new addition - a tutor for the application of Hydro Analyst. The tutor provides a `hands-on' system simulation procedure for the system modelling package Hydro Analyst supplied with this edition as a floppy disk. The package contains an extensive component database and comprehensive graphics facilities. This book will be of interest to engineers working in hydraulics and control.

  • "Force and motion control systems of varying degrees of sophistication have shaped the lives of all individuals living in industrialized countries all over the world, and together with communication technology are largely responsible for the high standard ofliving prevalent in many communities. The brains of the vast majority of current control systems are electronic, in the shape of computers, microprocessors or programmable logic controllers (PLC), the nerves are provided by sensors, mainly electromech anical transducers, and the muscle comprises the drive system, in most cases either electric, pneumatic or hydraulic. The factors governing the choice of the most suitable drive are the nature of the application, the performance specification, size, weight, environ mental and safety constraints, with higher power levels favouring hydraulic drives. Past experience, especially in the machine tool sector, has clearly shown that, in the face of competition from electric drives, it is difficult to make a convincing case for hydraulic drives at the bottom end of the power range, specifically at fractional horsepower level. A further, and frequently overriding factor in the choice of drive is the familiarity of the system designer with a particular discipline, which can inhibit the selection of the optimum and most cost-effective solution for a given application. One of the objectives of this book is to help the electrical engineer overcome his natural reluctance to apply any other than electric drives."@en
