The mass M shown in FIGURE 5 is to be held in position by two hydraulic pistons (A and B) which exert forces F, and F₂ (respectively) onto the mass. The total for F, (where F=F₁+F₂) is to be controlled at a constant value. The force F2₂ is uncontrolled, it is set at a nominal value however this may vary due to changes in the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplying piston B. A control loop is to be used to maintain the total applied force F by controlling the magnitude of F₁.

10. The mass M shown in FIGURE 5 is to be held in position by two hydraulic pistons (A and B) which exert forces Fi and F, (respectively) onto the mass. The total for Fr(where FT F F2) is to be controlled at a constant value. The force F2 is uncontrolled, it is set at a nominal value however this may vary due to changes in the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplying piston B. A control loop is to be used to maintain the total applied force Fr by controlling the magnitude of Fi
