Abstract

High-power transmission capacity at low-energy losses, low noise emissions, high reliability, and ease of maintenance, as well as convenient cost-effectiveness, are required for industrial applications regarding variable electro-hydraulic supply systems. Only up-to-date principles regarding volumetrically controlled hydraulic energy using variable supply systems and appropriate control strategy have proven satisfactory for these requirements. The aim of the present work was to study the applicability of a low-priced drive concept using a speed-controlled induction motor in combination with a constant-displacement pump applied in a load-sensing control strategy. The suggested approach of the drive concept has been experimentally verified on a prototype of the drive. A hydraulic press-brake used for the machining of casting products in the automotive industry was taken into consideration.
