Publish Time: 2025-02-26
The electric linear actuator achieves high-precision position control mainly through the following key technical measures:
1. Application of high-precision control equipment
Programmable logic controller (PLC): PLC has powerful computing power and rich control functions, can handle complex control logic and algorithms, and is an important device for achieving high-precision position control.
Dedicated motion controller or digital controller: These controllers are designed for motion control and have the characteristics of high precision, high speed and high reliability, which can meet the requirements of electric linear actuator for position control accuracy.
2. Installation of precise sensors
Position sensor: such as encoder, displacement sensor, etc., used to accurately measure the position of the push rod in real time to ensure that the push rod can accurately reach the specified position.
Speed sensor: such as tachometer generator, Hall sensor, etc., used to monitor the movement speed of the push rod to ensure that the push rod can still maintain stability at high speed.
Force sensor: In applications where precise force control is required, the force output by the push rod is measured to ensure that the push rod can still maintain high-precision position control when the load changes.
3. Optimization of control algorithm
PID control algorithm: PID (proportional-integral-differential) control algorithm is a classic control algorithm that calculates the output control signal according to the deviation between the set value and the actual value fed back by the sensor to achieve high-precision position control.
Advanced control algorithms: such as fuzzy control, adaptive control, model predictive control, etc. These algorithms can adapt to different working conditions and control requirements, and further improve the position control accuracy of the electric linear actuator.
4. Guarantee of mechanical transmission accuracy
Selection of high-quality transmission components: such as ball screws, linear guides, etc., these components have the characteristics of high precision, low friction and low deformation, which can reduce the gap and error in the transmission process and improve the accuracy of position control.
Maintenance and calibration of transmission components: Regularly maintain and calibrate the transmission components to ensure their stable performance and avoid position control errors caused by wear or deformation.
5. Accurate parameter debugging and calibration
Control parameter debugging: After the control system is installed, the control parameters are carefully debugged, such as PID parameter setting, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the control system.
Parameter optimization and adjustment: According to the actual operation situation, continuously optimize and adjust the parameters to achieve the best control effect and improve the position control accuracy of the electric linear actuator.
6. Other auxiliary measures
Stable power supply: Provide stable and pure power supply to avoid the influence of voltage fluctuation and electromagnetic interference on control accuracy.
Good communication and data processing: Ensure stable and reliable communication between control equipment and sensors and actuators, and accurate data transmission. Effectively process and analyze the collected data to extract useful information for control decision-making.
Environmental control: Keep the temperature, humidity and other conditions of the operating environment of the electric linear actuator stable to reduce the influence of environmental factors on control accuracy.
By applying high-precision control equipment, installing precise sensors, optimizing control algorithms, ensuring mechanical transmission accuracy, precise parameter debugging and calibration, and taking other auxiliary measures, the electric linear actuator can achieve high-precision position control. The comprehensive application of these measures can meet the needs of various high-precision applications and improve the performance and reliability of the equipment.
