Abstract: A monitoring system includes a hydraulic accumulator including a piston movably disposed therein. At least one seal encompasses the piston. A first pressure sensor is configured to monitor pressure of a first fluid in a first chamber. A second pressure sensor is configured to monitor pressure of a second fluid in a second chamber. A first temperature sensor is disposed in the first chamber and configured to monitor the temperature of the first fluid. A second temperature sensor is disposed in the second chamber and configured to monitor the temperature of the second fluid. An electronic control unit is in communication with the sensors and programmed to in response to receiving pressure signals from the pressure sensors and temperature signals from the temperature sensors, determine a wear volume of the at least one seal; and compare the wear volume of the at least one seal to a predetermined threshold wear volume of the at least one seal to determine the remaining useful life of the hydraulic accumulator.

Abstract: A system for determining an estimated output from a variable displacement hydraulic pump includes a prime mover, a torque sensor, a pressure sensor, and a displacement sensor. A controller is configured to determine the output torque from the prime mover, determine an input torque to the variable displacement hydraulic pump based upon the output torque, determine an output from one of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor based upon the signals. The controller is further configured to determine a failure of another of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor and determine an estimated output from the another of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor based upon the input torque to the variable displacement hydraulic pump and the output from the one of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor.

Abstract: A hydraulic system is disclosed. The hydraulic system may include a source of pressurized fluid; a tank; a hydraulic actuator including a first chamber and a second chamber; a first independent metering valve disposed between and fluidly connected to the source, the tank, and the first chamber of the hydraulic actuator; and a second independent metering valve disposed between and fluidly connected to the source, the tank, and the second chamber of the hydraulic actuator. Each of the first independent metering valve and the second independent metering valve may include a spool and a valve actuator disposed on one side of the spool. The valve actuator may include a push coil, a pull coil, and a force feedback mechanism configured to balance a force of the push coil and the pull coil.

Abstract: A system for determining an estimated output from a variable displacement hydraulic pump includes a prime mover, and torque, pressure, and displacement sensors. A controller determines the output torque from the prime mover, determines an input torque to the variable displacement hydraulic pump based upon the output torque, determines an output from one of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor, and determines an inertia torque loss based upon the angular acceleration of the prime mover. The controller further determines a failure of another of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor and determines an estimated output from the another of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor based upon the input torque to the variable displacement hydraulic pump, the output from the one of the pressure sensor and the displacement sensor, and the inertia torque loss.
