Abstract:This paper presents a feasibility study using a commercially available ring stack actuator to develop a four way-two position (4/2) high frequency switching digital hydraulic valve. The excellent characteristics of multilayer piezoelectric actuators, such as a simple design, reduced moving parts, high reliability, and fast response, make them ideal for constructing this type of digital hydraulic valve. High frequency switching digital hydraulic valves (HFSVs), indeed, must be able to switch from fully open to … Show more
