Multiple side-wall vent inlets and a top ventilation route keep the brake tank at atmospheric pressure even when one opening is blocked.
Segmented tab-and-bridge electrodes drive dielectric fluid into an expandable region, boosting artificial muscle force per unit volume.
A segmented membrane layout prevents fluid-retaining pockets in a bicycle hydraulic tank, enabling near-complete compensation for brake pad wear.
Separate closed-loop swing and travel circuits avoid highest-pressure overdrive, improving multi-function hydraulic efficiency.
Opposing tensile and compressive elements let a floating actuator move mechanical devices with minimal reaction forces and lighter bearing structures.
Separate high-pressure servo flow and low-pressure charge flow from one pump to improve hydrostatic drive efficiency without control loss.
A remote rack-and-piston fluid drive cuts piping losses, leaks, noise, and actuator mass for lightweight robotic motion.
A motor-driven remote fluidic actuator cuts robot mass while avoiding pump losses, tubing leaks, noise, and heat through sealed chamber actuation.
A bidirectional pump motor reverses boom-cylinder oil flow without a directional valve, cutting pressure loss and improving excavator energy efficiency.
A one-piece EHA housing integrates the hydraulic block, motor-pump, and PCM to cut parts, assembly complexity, weight, and cost.
Local pumps and accumulators replace a central hydraulic supply, cutting piping cost and leakage risk in valve stem actuation.
An overpressure valve and pressure sensor keep the hydraulic circuit ready while letting the motor stop at rest to cut electricity use.
By sealing the outlet-to-inlet path with gear tooth positioning, this closed-loop hydraulic pump improves pressure control, cuts energy use, and lowers cavitation.
