How do i make a hydrolic actuator compliant to behave like a muscle instead of being locked ?

>compliant
add a compliant member like a spring.
Not a spring’ it’s shit
You can add an adjustable relief valve that allows the fluid to transfer from one side of the cylinder to the other once a set pressure is overcome. Or add a restrictor between the two sides so that it can slowly move to where it naturally wants to be.
What exactly is the scenario you are trying to achieve? If you want absolute positioning then that kind of stuff I mentioned above will be a pain in the ass, but it sounds like you want it to be able to move on its own some?
>What exactly is the scenario you are trying to achieve?
Like I said it has to behave like a bio muscle and have a bit of a flexibility to it
Describe precisely how much "flexibility" and what EXACTLY you are attempting to do with the component as there is probably a better way.
Describe the task not why you imagine you want a hydraulic cylinder.
If you were smart you would not be asking so at least give people offering free help enough info to work with.
For example do you want pressure limiting? Spring loaded check valves with a return line to your reservoir can do that. Find ye some hydraulic systems design books so you can gain a useful understanding of what hydraulics are good for. You may be better off with a pneumatic system.
Do you want a suspension effect like a spring loaded shock absorber? Over how much travel? You need to learn enough to usefully form a question.
It sounds like you have no idea what you're doing. What's the application? Are you 12 years old and working on designing your first Iron man suit?
good luck getting your arm ripped off, homosexual OP
Muscles have a lot of nerves and brain cells controlling them. Staying up on your feet depends on a lot more than your memory, and you won't be able to replicate all of it with just mechanical parts.
penises don't have muscles in them
Some do
Use air instead of a fluid. I don't recommend it but you do you.
uhm sweetie air is a fluid :^)
Nta, but yes he should have said liquid instead of fluid. Air is a compressible fluid and hydraulic is an non-compressible lquid, therefore they behave very differently in a hydraulic/pneumatic system.
force sensor with a control loop to limit the maximum force exerted
Have you thought of using pneumatic instead of hydraulic? Air is much more free-flowing so the transition to a "relaxed" state should be much faster and easier. Also since air is way more compressible than hydraulic fluid the system would probably have a much more flexible/springy muscle-like operation.
Use a motor driven spool
disney had quite a few papers on this published from their LA research center (like there is anyother one) i was suprised to learn most organism move past expected destination and then subtle corrections to move it back. like a hand shake will go too deep but both parties correct almost simultaneously i always thought it was just my body settling to the new distrubution, but it is a correction.
