Abstract: A method for controlling movement of a movably mounted body (14) of a mechanical system (2, 56, 62). The mechanical system (2, 6, 62) includes a drive unit (4, 64), which is operated by a medium, and also a control valve (20, 22). The movably mounted body (14) is driven by the drive unit (4, 64). A drive movement of the drive unit (4, 64) is controlled with the aid of the control valve (20, 22). In order to avoid or reduce excitation of undesired vibrations in the mechanical system (2, 56, 62), it is proposed that the control valve (20, 22) be actuated using a control signal (u(t)) which comprises a first and also a further switching pulse (S1, S3) each having a prespecified pulse duration. The pulse duration of the first switching pulse (S1) is equal to the pulse duration of the further switching pulse (S3). A time difference (?t1-3) between the start of the first pulse (S1) and the start of the further switching pulse (S3) is matched to a natural period duration of the mechanical system (2, 56, 62).

A device for carrying out such method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control method for a mechanical-hydraulic system having a degree of freedom per hydraulic actuator which is embodied as a control path, and a measuring sensor which is used to measure the pressure ph of a hydraulic cylinder and a measuring sensor which is used to measure the position xh of the piston of the hydraulic cylinder. A control unit which can receive input variables of hydraulic pressure ph, and hydraulic actuator position xh, is provided. An observer, which determines the desired pressure of the hydraulic system and the speed vh of the hydraulic actuator, is implemented in the system. The desired pressure in the control element is taken into account in the set of rules of the control element and the speed vh of the hydraulic actuator can be over-ridden for attenuating the control element.
