  2. 1. On Motion Control of Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators

    Author : Martin Hochwallner; Petter Krus; Kalevi Huhtala; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuator; novel actuator; linear hydraulic actuator; tracking problem; hydraulic servo system; digital fluid power;

    Abstract : Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators combine one or more short-stroke cylinders, and two or more engaging/disengaging mechanisms into one actuator with long, medium, or even unlimited stroke length. The motion of each single short-stroke actuator concatenated by the engaging/disengaging mechanisms forms the motion of the linear incremental hydraulic actuator. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enhanced Active Resonant DC Circuit Breakers for HVDC Grids
