Simulation of Closed Loop Electro-Hydraulic Actuator Using PID Based on AMESim

Abstract:

Electro-hydraulic actuators are widely used in motion control application. Position control using hydraulic systems is widely applied in several engineering fields. However, their design is not a simple task since it is necessary to observe their behavior according to control theory.This paper represents an implementation of motion control of electro-hydraulic actuator by using PID controller. The objective of this study was to obtain Physical model of an electro-hydraulic actuator using system identification technique by estimating model using AMESim and provide the electro-hydraulic system which depends the hydraulic actuators to meet the motion control system demands.The physical model of electro-hydraulic actuator is established; it was modeled and simulated by using advanced performance modeling and simulation environment AMESim. It is shown that using AMESim to model and simulate performance more directly and veritably, and can complete the design task accurately and quickly.
