Flow Sharing Control increases hydraulic system dynamics.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:42:04 -0500

Electrohydraulic Flow Matching (EFM) control generates adjusting signals for pump at same time valves are controlled, ensuring adequate flow is made available. Promoting accelerated response to implement hydraulics, solution is operated in open control chain as electro-proportional variable pump. Pressure losses between pump and valve adjust themselves according to operating point.
