Résumé:

Future more electric aircraft (MEA) architectures require a new generation of power-by-wire actuators, e.g. Electro Hydrostatic Actuators (EHA). These units have to be capable of frontline operation of safety critical flight control surfaces over the entire aircraft life. Prove of robustness becomes a challenging objective. This paper illustrates the Liebherr-Aerospace EHA technology as well as methods for validation of robustness. It gives an insight regarding the design of a robust piston pump.

Résumé:

The work presented in this paper aims at developing a hydraulic actuation system for an ankle exoskeleton that is able to deliver a peak power of 250 W, with a maximum torque of 90 N.m and maximum speed of 320 deg/s. After justifying the choice of a servo hydraulic actuator (SHA) over an electro hydrostatic actuator (EHA) for the targeted application, some test results of a first functional prototype are presented. The closed-loop unloaded displacement frequency response of the prototype shows a bandwidth ranging from 5 Hz to 8 Hz for displacement amplitudes between +/-5mm and +/- 20mm, thus demonstrating adequate dynamic performance for normal walking speed. Then, a detailed design is proposed as a combination of commercially available components (in particular a miniature servo valve and a membrane accumulator) and a custom aluminium manifold that incorporates the hydraulic cylinder. The actuator design achieves a total weight of 1.0 kg worn at the ankle.

Résumé:

During flight, passenger comfort is affected by noise emissions from various aircraft systems. Apart from jet engines one of the main sources of noise within the fuselage is the power control unit (PCU) for high-lift actuation. In preparation for take-off and landing this hydraulic motor is responsible for the extension and retraction of the slats and flaps. Along with the increase in operating pressure from 206bar (3,000psi) to 345bar (5,000psi) noise and vibration induced by fluid power systems became more striking. Consequently the aim of the BMWI founded research project “Move On” was to reduce the emissions of Liebherr’s power control unit. The results of these research activities are presented within this paper. It is shown how the noise emissions could be reduced in a secondary controlled hydraulic motor by means of a valve-plate and structure optimization. In addition the results of a noise measurement campaign, conducted by Airbus on an A350, are presented.
