In this study, the back-drivability of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The back-drivability of EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior like their force tracking performance. In case of the double-rod type EHA, the back-drivability was mostly influenced by the bulk modulus of oil that changes with the working pressure due to entrapped air. The back-drivability of the single-rod type EHA was directly affected by the operation states of its pilot-operated check valves, while the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil also made the dynamic response in building up the cylinder pressure dependent on the operating conditions.

In this study, the force tracking performance of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The force-controlled EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior that are significantly dependent on operation conditions. The investigation focused on localizing the parameters that provide significant rise to the non-linearity. For this, the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs were mathematically expressed to derive their linear models. In parallel, they were modeled by a commercial simulation program including non-linear properties based on experimental results. It was shown that the dependency of the bulk modulus of oil with entrapped air on working pressure dominated the non-linearity in force control performance in case of the double-rod type EHA. The force control of the single-rod type EHA was influenced by much more elements. Besides the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil, its pilot-operated check valves made it dependent not only on the magnitude of reference input but also on its direction.

EHA(Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator)는 기존의 중앙집중식 유압시스템에 비해 높은 에너지 효율을 가진다. 특히 항공기용 EHA는 고장상황에 대비하여 이중화 설계가 일반적이다. 또한 장착공간의 한계로, 구동기 길이를 최적화 하여야 한다. 따라서 양로드형 실린더와 단로드형 실린더의 직렬 구성이 유리하다. 하지만 피스톤 수압부 면적의 비대칭성으로 인해, 일반적인 제어 기법으로 이중화 구동 시 두 실린더 사이에 Force Fighting 현상이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이중화된 EHA의 시뮬레이션을 통해 Force Fighting 현상을 확인하였다. 이를 억제하기 위한 방법으로 Load Compensation 제어기와 힘 제어 기반 위치 제어기를 적용하였고 시뮬레이션을 통해 각각의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.
