Justification operation modes of column rotation mechanism of forest manipulator with energy-saving hydraulic drive

Abstract

The analysis of the study of the dynamics of hydraulic drive of forest manipulators shows that work processes of column rotation mechanisms are accompanied by large dyna-mic loads that cause sudden changes of fluid pressure in the start-up and braking modes. The most effective are energy efficient hydro-pneumatic actuators of manipulator column that can recover energy during transient conditions and return some of the energy back into the system. A mathematical model of the operating modes was designed.
