We studied a mold oscillating mechanism for continuous casting. An equivalent hydraulic servo system model was established including a non-linear property and line volume near the hydraulic cylinder. The analysis focused on a practical behavior of the system. To observe an oscillated object and dynamic responses, an equivalent stiffness, damping ratio and simple mass-damper-spring 1-DOF model were established by Karl-Erik Rydberg’s research, and showed hydraulic cylinder pressure and line volume near the hydraulic cylinder. Especially, hydraulic pressure including statue of a mechanical and hydraulic cylinder was analyzed in the time and frequency domain. The results were validated by comparing responses between the 1-DOF model and the nonlinear hydraulic servo system model. The line volume that connects the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic servo valve has great effect on damping ratio and natural frequency of the hydraulic servo system. When the line pipe has high volume compared to normal statue, the hydraulic cylinder pressure has sharp peak frequencies that are located on natural frequency and its duple-harmonic terms with sideband peaks; (±2×exciting frequency) space. Based on this fact, we investigated the model using sensitivity analysis, and explained an oscillating mechanism about the mold oscillator by applying additional spring. A design of robust control for the mold oscillator was suggested by Negative strip time criterion, and maximum additional spring stiffness was shown.
