Pump-controlled hydraulic circuits for single-rod actuators: New designs and performance evaluation
, 2020 This thesis investigates the challenges in designing pump-controlled single-rod actuators and proposes new solutions for them. Three different concepts to overcome the reported performance problems are proposed. By applying the new concepts, eight different new designs are introduced, among which, five are experimentally evaluated.
