Abstract: A time modulated position controller is provided comprising a hydraulic actuator having a cylinder and a piston slidably disposed in the cylinder thus defining a chamber within the cylinder. An electric solenoid valve functions upon actuation to permit fluid communication from a source of fluid pressure to the cylinder chamber while, conversely, upon deactuation of the solenoid valve, the valve functions to exhaust fluid from the cylinder chamber. A position transducer, which generates a signal in response to the axial position of the piston within the cylinder, is coupled to one input of a differential amplifier while a control line, having an analog signal is coupled to the second input of the differential amplifier. The error output from the differential amplifier is time modulated to produce a square wave with a variable duty cycle which in turn is used to activate the solenoid valve.
