Electro-hydrostatic

A servo motor drives a reversible pump. A local hydraulic circuit moves the cylinder, with a reservoir, protective valves and position sensing.

What each part does.

Power path: Servo motor → reversible pump → hydraulic circuit → piston / rod.

Motor drive & sensing
Motor control, cylinder position and pressure sensing coordinate the electro-hydrostatic axis.
Servo motor
The motor controls pump direction and speed.
Pump & local manifold
A reversible pump supplies the cylinder chambers through a compact manifold with protective valves.
Reservoir & protection
A local reservoir accommodates fluid-volume changes; valves provide charge and pressure protection.
Cylinder & piston rod
Pressure differential across the piston creates linear output force.
Cylinder barrel & ports
A pressure-containing cylinder and fluid connections complete the closed local hydraulic system.
