Displacement servo system of asymmetric hydraulic cylinder exists the characteristics of cylinder’s acting areas are different and the system model is uncertain.These characteristics cause tremendous difficulty for high-precision displacement tracking control of hydraulic cylinder.In this regard,a compound control strategy that was mainly based on velocity feedforward and supplemented by displacement feedback was proposed.A new flow model for servo valve using control current and pressure difference between inlet and outlet of servo valve as independent variable was designed.The hydraulic test circuit was designed according to this model,and the parameters in the model were identified through the test results.The velocity feedforward control was calculated based on the flow model and the target displacement trajectory.Then,the displacement error feedback control was calculated based on PI control.Finally,the velocity feedforward and displacement feedback were superimposed as the drive voltage of the servo valve.The experiment results show the ratio of the maximum error of displacement tracking to the target displacement amplitude is 2.1% under the compound control strategy,which reduces significantly compared with PID control.The proposed control strategy provides a simple and effective method for asymmetric hydraulic cylinder displacement tracking control in productive practice.
