Abstract
Hydraulic servo actuator is used as the core actuator in tensile compression fatigue life test equipment as it operates the micro displacement very precisely at a high frequency and can be used continuously for a long period of time. Recently, the life expectancy of automobiles has been extended, the load conditions of accelerated life testing on auto parts have been increased, and the life test time and number of tests have increased significantly in order to secure the reliability of the guaranteed life of produced vehicles. Therefore, hydraulic servo actuators mounted on accelerated life testing equipment for automotive parts are essential for much higher performance and a longer life than those tested. However, small- and medium-sized companies that supply test equipment for the fatigue life of auto often fail to develop technology due to a lack of research personnel and the development budget compared to the capabilities of large automobile manufacturers, resulting in frequent breakdowns due to the technical overload of test equipment. In this study, servo actuators were used to test automotive parts, with a maximum output of 2 ton, a maximum frequency of 3.3 Hz and a maximum displacement of 50 mm. The hydraulic servo actuator, which was installed in the tensile compression fatigue life test equipment, failed to operate normally at the site, and by analyzing it, we realized this resulted from the heat generation of insulation compression due to the accumulation of air and gas into the hydraulic oil and the increase in friction due to the deterioration of flow. A static pressure bearing was adopted as a design change to improve the root cause for this failure mode, and a very high level of geometric concentricity was secured by inserting concentric tubes outside the labyrinth seal type piston. The newly designed and manufactured actuator is the result of research that has achieved a semi-permanent long life and improved performance up to 100 Hz by non-contact operation.
Highlights
Hydraulic servo actuators have been widely used in industrial applications because of their high power-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, high payload capability, etc
Addition, a duplex bush design was thethe concentricity of pistons, cylinder tubes and both static pressure was applied appliedtotoensure ensure concentricity of pistons, cylinder tubes androd both rod static bearings
Damage to the tube and rod surface of the hydraulic servo actuator was caused by by burning and the generation of high heat, especially with the oil temperature controlled at a level burning and the generation of high heat, especially with the oil temperature controlled at a level of of 50 ◦ C
Summary
Hydraulic servo actuators have been widely used in industrial applications because of their high power-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, high payload capability, etc. Test devices, aircraft pilot simulators, anti-lock braking systems, hydraulic excavators, press, plate hot rolling, shaking systems and steam control valve actuator of power plant turbines. A hydraulic actuated clutch control system for commercial cars was analyzed [8,9]. Comprehensive effects coming from measurement noises and matched and mismatched uncertainties make it difficult for electro-hydraulic servo systems to further attain a high-accuracy tracking level. Guichao Yang and Jianyong Yao develop two different control strategies combining integral robust control and direct adaptive control for high-precision position control of double-rod electro-hydraulic systems to account for these control issues concurrently [10]
