Abstract
A hydraulic cylinder unit (1) having a hydraulic cylinder (2), a piston (3) which can be moved in the hydraulic cylinder (2), and a servo valve (7). The piston (3) separates working volumes (5A, 5B) of the hydraulic cylinder unit (1) from one another. The servo valve (7) is connected to a hydraulic pump (8), a tank (9), and the working volumes (5A, 5B). The servo valve (7) is supplied with a pump pressure (pP) via the hydraulic pump (8). The tank (9) has a tank pressure (pT). The servo valve (7) is adjusted to a defined valve position (y). A piston position (z) of the piston (3) in the hydraulic cylinder (2) and working pressures (pA, pB) which are applied to the working volumes (5A, 5B) are detected. An analysis device (12) ascertains a leakage coefficient (ω) of the hydraulic cylinder unit (1) using the piston position (z), the working pressures (pA,pB), the valve position (y), the pump pressure (pP), and a value which represents the tank pressure (pT) in connection with time-invariant parameters of the hydraulic cylinder unit (1).
