In this study, a metering cylinder was constructed, and the velocity obtained from the linear velocity transducer (LVT) of the cylinder piston was used to evaluate the dynamic performance of an electro-hydraulic servovalve. Frequency response experiments involving the spool displacement and piston velocity (LVT signal) were conducted with different input signal amplitudes, hydraulic pipe diameters, and supply pressures. The spool displacement signal accurately reflected the performance of the servovalve. Meanwhile, the -3 dB bandwidth frequency of the LVT signal was similar to the spool displacement signal, except for a small-amplitude input signal, and the $-90^{\circ}$ phase lag bandwidth frequency showed some differences.

The present study deals with the issue of clamping force control of an injection molding machine using 2-way cartridge valve based logic circuit. The operating principle for the cartridge valve is described with its construction and static opening behavior. Basic module circuits are designed first and analysed according to the basic functions. Then they are combined with a virtual design model for the clamping mechanism to simulate the control performance of the overall system. The backlash inherent in the mechanism is considered while evaluating the time-delay in the process of clamping force build-up. The effects of a couple of design parameters in backlash, i.e., interval and stiffness have been demonstrated in the time-domain.

In forklifts, the machine performance is largely depended on the transmission performance. The aim of this paper is to develop a complete model of transmission control valve (TMV) system of a typical forklift using AMESim simulation tool. By using the developed TMV model, it becomes easy to investigate the system concept, working principle, and performance. In addition, an optimization on the TMV structure can be achieved by using this model with tunable parameters. Simulations have been carried out in a comparison with the actual experiments to verify the model.

The neutral valve for controlling the HST is one of the important valves for the vehicle control. Neutral valve takes a role of blocking or transmitting power to the vehicle. The operating principle of the neutral valve was developed through the analysis model. We also investigated the logical validity by analyzing the results of the analysis model. The analysis model was developed by using SimulationX witch is commercial software. The number of holes in the piston was selected as a variable initial compression of the spring, and the magnitude of the pressure pulsations and the diameter of the orifice for the sensitivity analysis were performed to design sensitivity analysis of the neutral valve.

In this study, a variable elasticity spring was applied to improve the pressure control precision of conventional relief valves. The equilibrium equation of the forces acting on the valve poppet was derived; it is demonstrated that matching the elastic rate of the pressure-adjusting coil spring to the equivalent elastic rate of the flow force improved the pressure override. The procedures that were used to design the variable elasticity spring are presented, and some applications of the variable elasticity spring are also introduced. Computer simulations were used to analyze three cases: a poppet-closed flow force structure, a poppet-open flow force structure with a constant elasticity spring, and a structure containing a variable elasticity spring. It is confirmed that the pressure control precision of the relief valve can be significantly improved upon by applying a variable elasticity spring to the poppet-open flow force structure.

This study aims to develop a Korean dental chair hydraulic circuit by improving the existing equipment in order to localize foreign leading companies' products. The suggested Hydraulic circuit can be applicable to varied sectors where height and backrest angle control of chair-type equipment are required. The study followed the steps below. First, three kinds of foreign hydraulic circuits were analyzed and three kinds of Korean dental chair hydraulic circuits were suggested. Second, it was determined whether the three kinds of Korean hydraulic circuits operate normally through SimulationX, a software specialized in multi domain analysis, and the effectiveness of each circuit was examined.

In this paper, a real-time simulation model of an excavator using Amesim was proposed, considered the operation of functional valves with the main control valve (MCV). The hydraulic system models including the pump and MCV have been developed. The kinematic and dynamic models of the manipulator have also been developed, to confirm the behavior of the excavator. The MCV model includes various functional valves such as the regenerative valves, holding valves, swing and boom priority valves, and regen-cut valves so that simulations similar to real excavators can be performed. Additionally, to obtain the real-time calculation performance, the parts with no major influence on the dynamic behavior were simplified, high frequency factors were removed, and parameters were optimized. The models were compared with each other through the numerical analysis with variable time-step and fixed time-step, and the results were verified by comparison with the results of the actual vehicle tests.

This paper deals with the flow characteristics of a reed valve analyzed using computational dynamics(CFD) for optimal design. The seat sizes of the valve are modeled asØ6[mm] and Ø8[mm] to compare the flow characteristics. The inlet boundary condition is entered at 10[kPa], 15[kPa], 20[kPa], and 30[kPa] and the outlet boundary condition is set to the atmospheric pressure. The flow coefficient(C) and pressure loss coefficient(K) are calculated from the results of flow analysis. From the analysis results, it was confirmed that the flow coefficient of a reed valve having a seat size of Ø6[mm] is greater than that having a seat size of Ø8[mm], and the coefficient of pressure loss of a valve with a seat size of Ø6[mm] is lower than the Ø8[mm] size valve.
