Simulation of a high frequency on/off valve actuated by a piezo-ring stack for digital hydraulics

Despite being widely used in several applications, commercially available spool valves, both servovalves and proportional valves, are inefficient components because they cause high power consumption due to the large pressure drops across the metering orifices. A recent research field aims at substit...
