POSITION SENSING DEVICE FOR HYDRAULIC OR ELECTROHYDRAULIC DRIVES, AND DRIVE HAVING POSITION SENSING MEANS
A device for sensing a rotary or linear position of moving parts of drives, in which a moving part performs a rotary movement or a linear positioning movement with respect to a stationary part, has a switch unit comprising switches arranged next to one another in a row and is arranged on the stationary part, and having an actuating element for actuating the switches based on the relative position of the moving part, the actuating element having switch triggers corresponding to the number of switches and each being assigned to the respective switches, such that there is a respectively defined unique combination of positions of the switches for each relative position between the moving part and the stationary part, and a control module having an analysis unit for storing coding for the different switch positions in relation to the relative position of the moving part of the drive.
SYSTEMS FOR DAMPING A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY TRACKER
A solar tracker system includes a support tube, a solar panel assembly connected to the support tube, and an active lock connected to the support tube. The active lock includes a housing defining a chamber and a seal. The seal prevents a flow of fluid through the chamber when the active lock is in a sealed state and allows the flow of fluid through the chamber when the active lock is in an unsealed state. The active lock further includes a locking system motor connected to the seal to transition the active lock between the sealed state and the unsealed state, a battery providing power to the locking system motor, and an antenna for receiving instructions controlling the locking system motor.
MANIFOLD FOR REDUCING OR GENERATING PILOT PRESSURE FOR A PILOT OPERATED EXCAVATOR
A pilot hydraulic system may include a pilot pressure source, a pilot pressure return tank, a pilot valve, a pilot pressure supply line connecting the pilot pressure source to the pilot valve, and a pilot pressure return line connecting the pilot pressure return tank to the pilot valve. A main control valve may include a pilot chamber. A pilot pressure control line connects the pilot valve to the pilot chamber. A hydraulic sub-system is provided for modifying pilot pressure provided to the pilot chamber of the main control valve. The hydraulic sub-system may include a variable orifice valve disposed in the pilot pressure control line, a pilot pressure bypass line communicating the pilot pressure control line downstream of the variable orifice valve with the pilot pressure return line, and an electrohydraulic pressure reducing valve (EHPRV) disposed in the pilot pressure bypass line.

Method for operating a hydrostatic actuator system
A hydrostatic actuator system includes an electric motor for delivering a hydraulic fluid via a piston unit. The actuator system is operating using a method in which a change in volume caused by a temperature change is sensed by a pressure measurement. The method reliably identifies a state of the transfer of the hydraulic fluid from a planetary roller transmission compartment into the master piston. The pressure measurement is continuously evaluated, and, in the event of a negative signal of the pressure measurement, suction of the hydraulic fluid by a planetary roller transmission lying in the hydraulic fluid between the electric motor and the piston unit into the piston unit is recognized and a fault signal is output.
