Digital hydraulics is a new technology providing an alternative to conventional proportional
or servovalve-controlled systems in the area of fluid power. Research is driven by the need …

This study proposes a novel digital hydraulic valve system using multiple equal size on/off
valves and a circulating switching control, with an aim to increase the resolution and the …

The decentralisation of hydraulic systems is a recent trend in industrial hydraulics. Speed
variable drive is one concept where an actuator is driven by an integrated pump, thus …

Hydraulic switching control operates via the switching of valves. Numerous principles exist,
some of which are already routinely applied, some others have been studied, but many …

The switched inertance hydraulic system (SIHS) is a novel high-bandwidth and energy-
efficient digital device which can adjust or control flow and pressure by a means that does …

Digital hydraulics uses simple and cheap on/off valves in order to replace expensive
proportional valves. Furthermore, with fast switching hydraulic converters the energy …

Hydraulic cylinders are common and robust actuators for linear motion applications in harsh
environments, like for instance on excavators. A hydraulic buck converter represents a …

The control of hydraulic cylinders with digital hydraulic valves is often based on modulation
principles like pulse-width modulation, pulse-code modulation, or pulse–frequency control …

This paper presents the development of an energy efficient low power stepper converter. A
prototype with a hydraulic output power of≈ 600 W was designed, manufactured …
