Patent ID: 8287054

Claim:
An electrohydraulic control system for the actuation of at least one actuator comprising: an electronic control unit (ECU); an electric motor which is configured to be activated by the electronic control unit (ECU) for driving a high pressure pump, and a receiving body for receiving electrohydraulic valves, channels and the high pressure pump which is connected, via a hydraulic connection, to a pressure transducer, a vessel, or both a pressure transducer and a vessel, wherein the high pressure pump is further configured to be connected to a pressure space of the actuator, wherein the electrohydraulic valves and the electric motor are networked to the electronic control unit (ECU), wherein the ECU is operable to control at least one pair of electrohydraulic valves via the network in order to (i) ventilate the high pressure pump by connecting the high pressure pump with the vessel, and (ii) control the volume flow to the actuator, pressure to the actuator, or both the volume flow to the actuator and the pressure to the actuator, by connecting the high pressure pump with the pressure space of the actuator.
