Abstract

An electro-hydraulic actuator system includes a fixed-displacement hydraulic pump and a variable speed electric motor configured in combination to constitute an individual electro-hydraulic unit that is coupled to an actuator, and a bypass valve in parallel to the actuator. The system is configured to enable the actuator to be operated at actuation speeds that are higher than a maximum actuation capability of the pump at the maximum flow capability thereof, and at actuation speeds that are lower than a minimum actuation capability of the pump at the minimum flow capability thereof. The actuation velocity of the actuator may be controlled by controlling the speed of the electro-hydraulic unit and a size of an opening of the bypass valve.
