    Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Hydraulic A.3.1 Servo solenoid valves A.3.1.1 General The servo solenoid valve is the final control element in an electro-hydraulic control loop. It converts the electrical manipulated variable U=-10...+10 V into the hydraulic variables pressure p and flow rate Q, and thus into a cylinder movement. Sliding spool principle These valves are of the sliding-spool type.
  • Page 236 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Solenoid actuation with valve spool position control For standard servo solenoid valves, the valve spool is actuated directly by a stepless solenoid. This converts a current I into a force F, which is compared to the force of the reset spring.
  • Page 237 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Symbol The operating principle of the servo solenoid valve is represented by a symbol in the hydraulic circuit diagram. The symbol comprises a series of different boxes denoting the valve positions. The three stepless-transition valve positions are represented by additional lines. The symbol also indicates how the valve is actuated.
  • Page 238 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Zero overlap at the middle position A continuous valve must have zero overlap around its middle position if it is to be used in a position control loop. A positive overlap will be perceived negatively in the form of a dead zone of the final control element.
  • Page 239 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Pressure amplification The quality of zero overlap at the middle position is represented by the pressure amplification. This states what percentage of the control spool deflection from the hydraulic zero point is needed to achieve a pressure differential of 80% system pressure at the closed load ports. The values typically lie in the 1...3% range.
  • Page 240 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Flow rate characteristic, linear The stepless spool movement, and thus the change in throttle cross-section at the control edges, results in a corresponding flow rate, which is represented as a function of the spool travel s or of the electrical input signal U (manipulated variable). In addition to the opening cross-section, the flow rate is also dependent on the pressure drop corresponding to the fluid-flow law: Q ∼√...
  • Page 241 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Flow rate characteristic, with transition point Valves with a flow characteristic with transition point give the drive greater manipulated variable resolution in the lower signal range (better machining quality) and, at the same time, offer sufficient flow rate in the upper range (high rapid traverse velocity). Figure A-8 Flow rate characteristic with transition point, example 40 % transition Figure A-9...
  • Page 242 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Linearization of flow rate characteristic with a transition point The valve characteristic with transition point is linearized in the HLA module to match it to the closed-loop control of the overall drive (cylinder). No steady-state operating point should be defined in the area of the transition point.
  • Page 243 Appendix A.3 Hydraulic Dynamic response The dynamic response parameters provide information on the servo solenoid valve's ability to respond to rapid signal changes. The valve actuation time is a basic statement regarding the dynamic response. This is the time that it takes the valve spool to follow a step in the valve spool setpoint of typically 0 to 100 %.
