Abstract

Provided is an electrohydrostatic actuation system including an emergency shut-off circuit to be actuated stably with a simple configuration. The electrohydrostatic actuation system includes: a hydraulic cylinder (24) including a piston (25) to which a valve element is connected, a first chamber (24A), and a second chamber (24B); a hydraulic pump (21) configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the first chamber (24A) or the second chamber (24B); a servo motor (M) configured to drive the hydraulic pump (21); a shuttle valve (11) configured to establish communication to a downstream side under a state in which a hydraulic pressure generated by the hydraulic pump (21) is maintained; a solenoid valve (12) configured to receive the hydraulic pressure via the shuttle valve (11) as a pilot pressure; and a logic valve (13) including a first port configured to receive the pilot pressure from the solenoid valve (12), and a second port to be communicated to the first chamber (24A) of the hydraulic cylinder (24). When the solenoid valve (12) is brought to a de-energized state, the pilot pressure of the logic valve (13) is released, and the logic valve (13) causes the hydraulic fluid in the first …
