Abstract: 
Electro-hydraulic actuation systems are essential in industrial applications but often face challenges related to nonlinearity, leading to instability and reduced precision. This paper explores the application of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control strategies to enhance the stability and precision of these systems. A detailed system model is developed, and the PID controller is designed and tuned using optimization techniques. Simulation results demonstrate improvements in performance metrics, such as reduced overshoot, settling time, and steady-state error. The proposed control strategy is validated experimentally on a physical setup, confirming its effectiveness in real-world applications. The findings show that PID-based control significantly enhances both stability and precision in electro-hydraulic actuation systems, offering a practical solution for industrial control challenges.
