A Systematic Methodology for Optimal Component Selection of Electrohydraulic Servosystems

Abstract This paper focuses on optimal hydraulic component selection for electrohydraulic systems used in high performance servo tasks. Dynamic models of low complexity are proposed that describe the salient dynamics of basic electrohydraulic equipment. Rigid body equations of motion, the hydraulic dynamics and typical trajectory inputs are used in conjunction with optimization techniques, to yield an optimal hydraulic servosystem design with respect to a number of criteria such as cost, weight or power. The optimization procedure employs component databases with real industrial data, resulting in realizable designs. An example illustrates the developed methodology.
