Electro-hydraulic actuation is now an emerging and well established technology and currently applicable in almost all fields but most important application of electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) is aerospace industry. This paper will discuss the selection and designing of major sub-assemblies and their integration to form an EHA unit. A complete, compact, and high performance EHA will be designed in different sections of paper and dynamic analysis of major assemblies is carried out to meet the designed requirements. In last section position tracking performance of the EHA is analysed by using a conventional PID Controller and simulation results are discussed.
