Abstract

Hydraulic synchronization control systems are extensively utilized across various industrial sectors and play a pivotal role in advancing the field of mechanical engineering. Research on hydraulic synchronization control has emerged as a crucial area of study, aiming to enhance system performance, stability, and adaptability to diverse operating conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current research trends and development in hydraulic synchronization control systems. It includes system classification, key characteristics, factors influencing synchronization accuracy, and a synthesis of domestic and international researches. Furthermore, it explores prospective advancements in synchronization control technology. The research methods used include analysis, synthesis, and comparison of existing research papers to provide objective and valuable assessments. This study aims to facilitate a systematic approach for researchers new to the field of motion synchronization of hydraulic actuators, enabling them to comprehend developmental trends and establish a foundation for future research. This is also a reference document for research orientation and application of hydraulic synchronization systems in industry.
