Abstract
A position control branch for a hydraulic drive is prescribed a desired position. The hydraulic drive is moved to an actual position via the position control branch. It is determined whether the hydraulic drive has come to a standstill. On detection of a standstill, a desired direction of movement is determined with the aid of the actual position and the desired position. A force value dependent on the desired direction of movement is then applied to the hydraulic drive via a force precontroller connected in parallel with the position control branch.
