Abstract

See full text

Method for controlling and damping the motion of a hydraulic actuator in an electro hydrostatic actuator (EHA) system comprising an electric motor, a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic fluid circuit connecting the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic actuator includes comprising: energising the electric motor to drive the hydraulic pump to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator through the hydraulic fluid circuit in an active mode of operation; providing a flow path between the hydraulic actuator and the hydraulic pump in a damping mode of operation such that hydraulic fluid can flow via the flow path through the hydraulic pump when the hydraulic actuator is driven by an external force; and determining a desired amount of damping to be applied to the hydraulic actuator in the damping mode of operation and providing the electric motor with one or more energy consuming means configured to provide the desired amount of damping.
