LCM provided the Voith Group with significant support in the development of an electric “Voith Schneider Propeller” (eVSP) and thus contributed to the energy transition in shipping. The LCM drive was optimized by means of “multi-target variable...
Fluid systems which are controlled solely by on-off valves are called digital, whereas analog fluid systems use continuously adjustable valves. Many digital fluid systems are in practical use since some decades. Steel industry relies on several fluid technologies....
Sixty of the world’s leading experts in the field of digital hydraulics from academia and industry came together for this year’s “Digital Fluid Power” workshop at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz, Austria. There were visitors from...
In the framework of the MFP “Adaptive optimal control for mechatronical systems under unknown operating conditions” an approach has been developed and validated experimentally to determine suitable testing conditions for autonomous or semi-autonomous functions or...
This novel magnetically levitated drive is of a unique type since it has no need for permanent magnetic material in the rotor. Hence it is cheap to manufacture, conserves ecological resources, is very robust and temperature resistant. The implemented homopolar motor...
