Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010136255A1] The invention relates to a digital hydraulic controller (2) comprising at least two rows of valve elements, one of said rows of valve elements being adapted to connect a supply conduit to a controller outlet and the other row of valve elements being adapted to connect the controller outlet to an outlet conduit. The valve elements of every row of valve elements are connected in parallel in the controller (2) and can be switched simultaneously either individually or in various combinations thereof. Each valve element of a row of valve elements has a different flow cross-section. The valve element which has the smallest flow cross-section is present in the row of valve elements twice. The invention further relates to a system unit comprising a differential cylinder (1) and a digital hydraulic controller (2) which has four rows of valve elements, two of which are connected to one pressure chamber of the differential cylinder with their common controller outlet while the other two rows of valve elements are connected to the other pressure chamber of the differential cylinder (1) with their common controller outlet. Due to the fact that the pressure in the two pressure chambers can be independently set, the differential cylinder can be used as a linear actuator that can be precisely set.
