This paper presents the conditions necessary to sustain a limit cycle in hydraulic position control systems with displacement feedback. The limit cycle performance of the system is then examined when the temperature of the working fluid varies between 283K(10°C) to 343K(70°C). Results are presented for an electrohydraulic system driving a load comprising inertia, viscous friction, and coulomb friction.

Pulse width control refers to the use of a control law to determine the duration of fixed-height force pulses for point-to-point position control of a plant that is subject to mechanical friction, including stiction. The use of constant-gain pulse width control laws for precise positioning of structurally flexible plants subject to stiction and Coulomb friction is analyzed. It is shown that when the plant is a simple two-mass system subject to stiction and Coulomb friction, a position error limit cycle can result. Sufficient conditions for stability and self-sustained oscillation of this closed-loop system are derived. The sufficient conditions for stability are used to determine conditions on the plant parameters and the control gain that guarantee closed-loop stability and thus limit-cycle-free operation and zero steady-state position error. The analysis methods that are introduced are demonstrated in applications to the control of the position of the end-effector of an industrial robot.

This paper introduces the hydraulic control system design for the change-wheel garage of Chongqing light rails through analysis of three-stage cylinder synchronization circuit for lifting bodies, and optimizing the design of the slewing mechanism with respect to the hydraulic servo control system of digital cylinder. The results improved the smoothness in the process of changing wheel lifting and the rotary accuracy of the rotary mechanism. Design on the PLC control system of the system is also included as part of this paper.
