I am working on a gang of screw jacks to replace an old design for a hydraulic cylinder.
My first option would be to select one of the screw jacks as master and try to synchronize position of the screw jacks. This will mean a lot of money and trouble regarding servos and controllers.
I thought about a second option to control the screw jacks individually based on torque. Then the structure can itself harmonize the screw jacks. The control system would be much more easier
Did you ever use the second option?
What are the drawbacks and limitations? Do you have any advice?
How can I help the mechanics in changes that they need to do on the main structure?
