Patent ID: 7043907

Claim:
An electro-hydraulic actuation system being characterized by comprising a pump, a plurality of electro-hydraulic actuators each having an electric motor, a hydraulic actuator and a fluid volume changing valve for changing the volume of a fluid discharged by the pump based on driving amounts of the electric motor and the hydraulic actuator for supply to the hydraulic actuator, discharge volume changing means for changing the volume of the fluid discharged by the pump based on a maximum pressure of pressures of the fluid supplied to the hydraulic actuators of the plurality of electro-hydraulic actuators and the discharge pressure of the fluid discharged by the pump, and rotational speed changing means for changing the rotational speed of the electric motors of the plurality of electro-hydraulic actuators at substantially the same ratio relative to the electric motors of the plurality of electro-hydraulic actuators based on a maximum pressure of pressures of the fluid supplied to the hydraulic actuators of the plurality of electro-hydraulic actuators and the discharge pressure of the fluid discharged by the pump.
