Issue 39 - February 2016 - Ideas in Motion Control from Moog Industrial

Today, the pressure on automotive designers has never been more intense. Tighter operating budgets, shorter time to market and fewer resources in the test lab mean test and design professionals must think differently to meet their evolving challenges. What worked just five years ago, in fact, may already be obsolete and ineffective. So where do automotive engineers turn when the stakes are so high on completing their latest design projects?

After more than eight years of work, researchers at the Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia (IIT) are bringing to life advanced robotics with the help of hydraulic actuation. The “HyQ” or “Hydraulically actuated Quadruped” was created to assist humans in response to emergencies and search and rescue operations in dangerous areas.

Performing pre-emptive, scheduled maintenance is the key to not only extending the life of your machine but also reducing downtime and ensuring quality parts are delivered over the long term. Long-term productivity can also be enhanced by decisions made by the OEM when a machine is in the design phase. This article discusses ten tips that are useful for both machine builders and machine owners to know about optimizing servo-hydraulics.

Electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA), widely used in the aerospace industry, are opening new possibilities for machine builders because they combine the best of electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic technologies. Moog developed an EHA (see Figure 1) that is ideal for many industrial applications and competitive with traditional hydraulic solutions, lowering energy and investment costs. This technology is now proven in some very demanding industrial applications and is generating increased attention from design engineers and machine builders around the world.

Fans attending the US Grand Prix in Austin on November 2nd, 2014, witnessed a completely new breed of Formula 1 car. Their first impression might have been the unfamiliar sound of quieter lower-revving cars, which has caused much controversy amongst ‘die-hard’ F1 fans. While appearing superficially similar (apart from the oddly shaped energy-absorbing crash structure at the front of the car), this year’s F1 cars are dramatically different under the skin. This is due to evolving technical regulations that encourage F1 designers to focus on new technologies that are more relevant to road cars—including techniques to improve fuel efficiency.

Many of the world’s most efficient power plants are now Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Plants (CCGT) incorporating both gas and steam turbines. Gas and steam turbines represent particularly demanding motion control applications because motion control is the key to machine performance, safety and ultimately the ability to supply power to households around the world. The application uses rugged inlet guide vane actuators and fuel gas control valves to provide the correct ratio of air and fuel in varying loads and ambient environments to ensure optimum efficiencies and minimize emissions. From a safety perspective, preventing leakage is also critical to reduce risk of fire and lower insurance costs.

Moog Industrial Group designed and delivered a high performance driving simulator for race car test and simulation for leading race car manufacturer Dallara. The company had been looking for a way to effectively shorten product development time and reduce the cost of testing and driver training compared to track testing. Dallara asked Moog, the market leader in electric 6 DOF (six degrees of freedom) motion bases, to provide the motion system with dome, steering wheel control loading, electric cabinet with real time controller and real time PC with Moog cueing software to enhance the performance of its driving simulator.
