  • Patent number: 11603867
    Abstract: An electrohydrostatic actuator system comprising: a volume- and/or speed-variable hydraulic machine which is driven by an electric motor, for providing a volumetric flow of a hydraulic fluid; a differential cylinder with a piston side and a ring side; and at least one pretensioning source. The actuator system has a closed hydraulic circuit, wherein, during operation, the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic circuit is pressurized by means of the hydraulic machine and/or the pretensioning source. Furthermore, according to the invention, the differential cylinder provides a power motion operating mode and a rapid motion operating mode. In order to balance a volume of the hydraulic fluid in the closed hydraulic circuit, according to the invention an expansion reservoir is connected to the piston side of the differential cylinder via a valve.

  • Patent number: 11384778
    Abstract: The electrohydrostatic actuator system according to the invention comprises a volume-variable and/or rotational-speed-variable hydro machine, which is driven by an electric motor, for providing a volume flow of a hydraulic fluid, and a main shaft which is movable by the hydraulic fluid and which has at least one first chamber, wherein the first chamber, with at least one first main hydraulic line and a first main valve, is hydraulically connected to the hydro machine via a connection line. The actuator system according to the invention further comprises a secondary shaft which is movable by the hydraulic fluid and which has at least one first chamber, wherein the first chamber, with at least one first secondary hydraulic line and a first secondary valve, is hydraulically connected to the hydro machine via a connection line.

  • Patent number: 10519989
    Abstract: A safe hydraulic drive system and process, comprising at least one first cylinder chamber and a second, separate cylinder chamber which are connected to one another via a connecting line to form a fluid-filled hydraulic circuit, and a hydraulic drive for conveying the fluid from one cylinder chamber, via the connecting line, into the other cylinder chamber in which the connecting line is arranged. The connecting line has at least one parallel system, between the hydraulic drive and one of the two cylinder chambers, including at least one first sub-connection with at least one first stop valve and a second sub-connection with a baffle arranged therein.
