Abstract

A so called hydraulic resonance converter which enables the energy efficient switching control of hydraulic drives is presented. The performance characteristics, the role of the main design parameters and basic dimensioning rules are given, based on mathematical models and on experiments performed with a prototype. It is shown that for reasonable practical realisations high speed switching valves are needed.
