Position control

zoomkat:

Need to move a clutch master cyl 1.2" as fast as possible!

How fast? How much force required? In automotive clutch applications the speed of a master/slave hydraulic system may be limited by the size of the tubing connecting the two cylinders. Are you sure the electrohydraulic actuator you have chosen will meet your specifications? In hydraulic systems that require quick response, pressurized accumulators are usually used as the hydraulic pumps themselves may not move the fluid very fast.

This is a stand alone hydraulic unit with built in resivoir and pump.....max speed of unit is 3.1" a second and it has a hiqh force that will be adequate for what I am doing. This actuator will work but it is just a dc motor driving it! I need some sort of position control for my application.

Thanks,
