Abstract

A nonlinear dynamic model for an unconventional, commercially available electrohydraulic flow control servovalve is presented. The valve is a two-stage valve and differs from the conventional servovalve in that it does not require a feedback wire and ball, and the boost stage uses two spools, instead of a single spool, to meter flow into and out of the valve separately. Consequently, the valve is significantly less expensive. The proposed model captures the nonlinear and dynamic effects not present in previous models. The model has been coded in Simulink and experimentally validated.
