Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019011375A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling an actuator (1), in which the actuator (1) has at least one drive unit (2) with an electric motor (3) and a control unit (4). The motor (3) has at least one stator (5) and one rotor (6) and rotation of the rotor (6) can be detected via a rotor position sensor (8), which is connected to the control unit (4). The actuator (1) has a displacement unit (9), drivable via the rotation of the rotor (6), for displacing a fluid. The displacement unit (9) has a certain geometric displacement volume per revolution of the rotor (6). The method comprises at least the following steps: a) generating a predetermined pressure at the displacement unit (9) by applying an electrical driving power to the motor (3); b) maintaining the predetermined pressure over a predetermined time interval; c) determining the rotation of the rotor (6) by the rotor position sensor (8) within the time interval and determining a leak volume flow.
