Abstract
A hydrostatic actuator system includes an electric motor for delivering a hydraulic fluid via a piston unit. The actuator system is operating using a method in which a change in volume caused by a temperature change is sensed by a pressure measurement. The method reliably identifies a state of the transfer of the hydraulic fluid from a planetary roller transmission compartment into the master piston. The pressure measurement is continuously evaluated, and, in the event of a negative signal of the pressure measurement, suction of the hydraulic fluid by a planetary roller transmission lying in the hydraulic fluid between the electric motor and the piston unit into the piston unit is recognized and a fault signal is output.
