In this study, the back-drivability of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The back-drivability of EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior like their force tracking performance. In case of the double-rod type EHA, the back-drivability was mostly influenced by the bulk modulus of oil that changes with the working pressure due to entrapped air. The back-drivability of the single-rod type EHA was directly affected by the operation states of its pilot-operated check valves, while the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil also made the dynamic response in building up the cylinder pressure dependent on the operating conditions.

In this study, the force tracking performance of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The force-controlled EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior that are significantly dependent on operation conditions. The investigation focused on localizing the parameters that provide significant rise to the non-linearity. For this, the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs were mathematically expressed to derive their linear models. In parallel, they were modeled by a commercial simulation program including non-linear properties based on experimental results. It was shown that the dependency of the bulk modulus of oil with entrapped air on working pressure dominated the non-linearity in force control performance in case of the double-rod type EHA. The force control of the single-rod type EHA was influenced by much more elements. Besides the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil, its pilot-operated check valves made it dependent not only on the magnitude of reference input but also on its direction.

전동기 일체형 유압액추에이터(EHA)는 전기모터와 직결되어 구동되는 유압펌프를 이용하여 유압 피스톤의 변위나 속도를 제어할 수 있도록 모듈화된 유압기기로 효율이 높고 독립된 동력원을 갖는 장점으로 인하여 항공기의 전자구동시스템에 적용되어 왔다. 최근에는 다양한 형태의 유압시스템이 적용되고 있는 건설중장비 분야에서 엔진과 전기모터를 결합한 하이브리드 기술이 개발됨에 따라 EHA의 활용범위가 확대될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 편로드 유압실린더를 갖는 EHA가 적용된 유압시스템을 대상으로 펌프작동에 따른 유압실린더의 기동 및 정지특성을 고찰하기 위하여 EHA 내부 유압회로의 기능을 파악하고 동특성 모델을 유도하였으며 파일럿작동 체크밸브의 크래킹압력을 분석하여 개방 및 폐쇄특성을 예측하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석된 결과를 검증하였다.
