Comprehensive Numerical Analysis of a Four-Way Two-Position (4/2) High-Frequency Switching Digital Hydraulic Valve Driven by a Ring Stack Actuator

This paper presents a feasibility study using a commercially available ring stack actuator to develop a four way-two position (4/2) high frequency switching digital hydraulic valve. The excellent characteristics of multilayer piezoelectric actuators, such as a simple design, reduced moving parts, hi...
