Review and Comparison of Clearance Control Strategies

Abstract

The nonlinearity of clearance has a significant influence on the performance of a system while ensuring the reliability of the variable-speed transmission, and hinders the development of the controlled object according to the predetermined trajectory. Aimed at the transmission clearance problem in different systems, this study summarizes the existing literature and provides a reference for the research and compensation of clearance characteristics. First, the influence of clearance on system performance is analyzed and summarized, and it is shown that the existence of clearance causes problems, such as system response delay and limited cycle oscillation. Then, the control strategies for studying clearance are introduced, which are mainly divided into the control strategy based on the clearance model and the non-clearance model control strategy, and these are respectively explained. Finally, some opinions are proposed for the perfection and development of future clearance nonlinear control theory. Ideas for realizing the suppression of the adverse effects of clearances have their characteristics, and in practical applications, the difficulty of implementation and cost control should be comprehensively considered. In the future, to cope with complex and changeable environments, the clearance control strategy will continue to be optimized.

“…have put forward ever increasingly stronger demands for high-performance hydraulic systems, which should be more reliable, precise, energy efficient, intelligent, and so on. Owing to structural and environmental factors, system parameters are easily affected, which makes it difficult to control systems and reduce the reliability of system operation [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, to avoid affecting the control performance of the servo system, multi-parameter identification of the nonlinear system is very important, and relevant personnel have made some meaningful attempts and explorations.…”

A Review of Key Technologies for Friction Nonlinearity in an Electro-Hydraulic Servo System

“…In high-precision electro-hydraulic servo systems, friction nonlinearity is common [3], and has a significant influence on the dynamic and static performance of the servo system. In addition, factors such as the viscosity and compressibility of the hydraulic oil, machining accuracy of the servo cylinder, and temperature of the hydraulic oil affect the motion performance of the servo system.…”
