Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling a hydraulic actuator, wherein the hydraulic actuator includes a linear double-acting output member, and at least three working chambers in fluid connection with the output member, the working chambers having respective effective areas with a non-binary relationship; wherein the method includes selectively fluidly connecting each working chamber to either a high-pressure side or a low-pressure side to provide a plurality of discrete pressurization states of the hydraulic actuator; determining at least one of the pressurization states as a prevented pressurization state; and transitioning between a plurality of allowed pressurization states among the pressurization states while preventing transition to the at least one prevented pressurization state. A hydraulic actuator and a hydraulic system are also provided.
