Abstract

This paper presents digital fluid power as a new branch of fluid power which offers a high potential for innovative solutions. The variety of digital concepts is quite large and digital concepts are successfully applied in low power applications since long. Research and development is now becoming more intensive and is done by several research groups and also more and more in industry. First applications will be brought to industry soon. A successful application requires new components, a sound system understanding and new control principles.
