Abstract

This paper explores the concept development of an experimental test rig for simulating the operation of hydraulic servo drive components for loading a moving link based on a force-based control function. This test rig is referred to as a force-based hydraulic servo drive or electrohydraulic load simulator. The study examines hydraulic servo drives of this class applied for high-stiffness moving object loading, particularly in bench testing of position-controlled servo drives used in rocket launch systems, missile steering actuators, naval drives, and aircraft flight control actuators. The experimental test rig is being developed as a part of a hydraulic system simulation model for the preliminary evaluation of new control and operation methods for hydraulic servo drives and optimization of system parameters without the need for actual prototypes. The paper defines tracking quality criteria and key features of the simulation model as applied to the hydraulic servo drive under development. A structural diagram of the hydraulic servo drive and its main technical characteristics are presented. A basic hydraulic circuit diagram has been developed, including a loading servo drive circuit with a test object simulator, a pumping station diagram for the loading servo drive, and a pumping station diagram for the test object simulator. Additional design requirements for the rig necessary for debugging, validating, and verifying the simulation model are described. The technical solutions proposed in this paper enable experimental operation with all required variable data, namely: flow rate and pressure (speed and force), hydrostatic bearings, piston leakage, and servo valves. The rig is also suitable for endurance testing and demonstration under near-real-life conditions of the proportional hydraulic valves (servo valves) being developed with direct control.
