Turbine power control devices at a nuclear / thermoelectric power plant lead to failure by creating mechanical shocks and strong vibrations that are due to the strong elasticity of a spring and the inertia of the valve face during its rapid movement to block steam. To ensure durability of the turbine power control device, which is the main component in the power plant, it is necessary to develop a device that can prevent such vibrations. In this study, a cushion mechanism is added to the head of the hydraulic servo actuator, which is a turbine power control device. Moreover, the cushion mechanism, which includes various modifies shapes and orifices is investigated dynamically through modeling and simulations.

The average frictional coefficient was used generally to analyze the working process of the lubricated machine parts. But it is difficult of taking the correct frictional coefficient because the average frictional coefficient of it is progressed always unstably with a large amplitude on working condition. If the correct analysis of frictional coefficient on working condition for the lubricated machine parts can be possible, it can be effect on condition diagnosis of lubricated machine system. This study was carried out to get the optimum working condition of the hydraulic actuator parts using statistical techniques. From this result, it has the lowest friction coefficient in case of applied load of 3 kg and sliding speed of 120 mm/sec.

This paper presents the development of a compact position generator to be used for industrial purposes based on a pump controlled Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA), which is closed-loop controlled by an embedded based Iterative PID controller. The controller is designed by combining the PID controller and the iterative learning scheme to perform tracking control for periodically desired references. Control algorithm is implemented on an embedded computer (AD 7011-EVA) which makes the implementation and application in industrial environments easier.

This paper was undertaken to do morphological analysis of wear particles for sliding members hydraulic rotary actuator. The lubricating wear test was performed under different experimental conditions using the wear test device and wear specimens of the pin on disk type was rubbed in paraffinic base oil by three kinds of lubricating materials, varying applied load, sliding distance. The four-shape parameters (50% volumetric diameter, aspect, roundness and reflectivity) are used for morphological analysis of wear particles. The results showed that the four shape parameters of wear particles depend on a kind of the lubricating materials. It was capable of presuming wear volume for three kinds of materials on driving time.

In offshore plants, various equipments including cranes and davits are used for safety management. Hydraulic cylinder type actuators are mainly used for luffing operations such as cranes and davits. However, in the case of a cylinder using hydraulic pressure, a separate power pack is required to supply hydraulic pressure. When used for a long time, maintenance costs such as sticking of hydraulic valves, contamination of hydraulic oil and deterioration of hydraulic hoses occur. In addition, a lot of hydraulic oil is used in the handling of cranes and davits, which causes marine pollution due to management problems. As a result, as interest in marine pollution prevention has increased recently, interest in actuators that do not use hydraulic pressure is also increasing. Therefore, in this study, we intend to develop a davit with an electric cylinder type actuator that uses electricity rather than hydraulic pressure by the SOLAS regulation. In other words, the conceptual design of the davit driven through the linear motion of the ball screw using electricity is performed, and the structural safety of the drive is also reviewed so that it can be utilized in the industrial field.

Reduction in pressure transients may be important in the hydraulic system and necessary to avoid failure and to improve the efficiency of operation. This study addresses the design and use of an orifice to provide the desired control of the hydraulic actuator system. The experimental apparatus is a model of an automobile shift system. Control is accomplished by installing four different diameter ratio of orifices at appropriate locations in the system. Experimental results show that the orifice can be used to obtain the control of shock and the control level depends on the orifice size, orifice type, operating conditions.

Characteristics of the high frequency pulsatile flow have been investigated experimentally to understand the flow phenomena in the hydraulic system. The accumulator in high frequency hydraulic system but that is not effective all frequency zone. Therefore, a hydraulic damper used with accumulator is suggested to reduce the high frequency pulsatile where the accumulator is not effective. The pulsating pressure obtained by Pressure measurement system are analyzed to power spectral density distribution. According to the variations of pump input pressure and actuator acceleration frequency, the pressure is measured with or without an accumulator or pulsatile damper The amplitude of pressure with damper is very lower than those without accumulator or damper due to absorbing function of damper. As the frequency of actuator acceleration is increased, the effect of damper becomes very important to decrease the amplitude of pulsatile Pressure waveform with high frequencies.

Piezoelectric-based hydraulic actuator is a hybrid device consisting of a hydraulic pump driven by piezoelectric stacks that is coupled to a conventional hydraulic cylinder via a set of fast-acting valves. Nowadays, such hybrid actuators are being researched and developed actively in many developed countries by requirement of high performance and compact flight system. In this research, a piezoelectric hybrid actuator has been designed and tested. To achieve bi-directional capabilities in the actuator, solenoid valves were used to control the direction of output fluid. The experimental testing of the actuator in uni-directional and bi-directional modes was performed to examine performance issues related to the solenoid valves. The results showed that the bi-directional performance was slightly lower than uni-directional performance due to air bubble developed in the valve system. A new design to solve the vacuum problem has been proposed to improve the performance of the hybrid actuator.

Generally, a working excavator has only one directional bucket tilting angle, which is up-forward. However, side direction rotation of the bucket would allow variety of working output. We designed a hydraulic rotary actuator comprising a double rod hydraulic cylinder with a rack-pinion gear set for use in excavator bucket with side tilting mechanism, thus converting the linear to angular motion. The proposed side tilting rotary actuator was designed with parts suitable for medium size of heavy duty excavator. These mechanical parts were inexpensive to purchase and the manufacturing cost was reasonable. The proposed mechanism is potentially useful for excavator with variety of working output.
