Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydraulic actuators have been used for primary and secondary flight controls of large commercial and military aircrafts since the late 1950s. Excellent precision control, high bandwidth, together with extreme high power density of those valve controlled hydraulic actuators, have made them the technology of choice for many other industrial applications, and automotive and large vehicle systems. They have also been used to create the first large and powerful robots. However the traditional use of servo- or proportional valves makes the technology inefficient. Since late 1990s, many researchers worldwide work on alternative throttles hydraulic actuation technologies. These new hydraulic actuators can be grouped in the following principles: electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA), pump controlled actuation, secondary controlled actuators, hydraulic hybrid actuation systems, hydraulic transformers, and hydraulic actuators based digital hydraulics.
This Special Issue will collect review and/or special topic papers on throttles hydraulic actuation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
