Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1176314A2] The system for compensating for the compressibility of hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic actuator has a pressure sensor (21) to measure the pressure in the actuator's displacement chamber (3), a differentiator (24,25) to calculate the fluid compression flow during pressure changes in the displacement chamber due to the compressibility of the fluid, and means to feed or drain a compensating flow of hydraulic fluid regulated on the basis of the calculated compression flow, and which comprises a cylinder (14) connected to the displacement chamber and equipped with a piston (15) charged with underpressure or overpressure via a valve(28). An Independent claim is included for a procedure for compensating for the compressibility of the hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic actuator.
