Information

This is a model of a hydraulic spool with an additional pilot port. It has three input pressure signals and y is the current spool opening.


Normalization of the characteristic curve

The opening of the valve depends on the pressure difference, dP, which depends on the pressures according to the equation below:



where
:Pressure difference used for computing the spool position
:Pressure at port a
:Pressure at port b
:Pressure at pilot port
:Pilot ratio for pilot port

The parameter pOpen defines the pressure difference when the valve starts to open, and the parameter pSwitch defines the pressure at which the valve is fully open. The dynamics of the spool are a first-order system with the time constant t1.
