• Proportional Valves
  The performance of proportional valves falls in the wide spectrum between on/off solenoid valves and electrohydraulic servovalves. The valves are termed proportional because output flow is not exactly linear in relation to input current. Despite their nonlinear response, the valves...
• Pulse and Hold Power Management
  Acro Associates' solenoid pinch valves employ a spring-loaded linear actuator to control motion of the pinching surfaces. Most linear solenoid actuators are closing-the-air-gap devices, where the force characteristics vary substantially throughout the stroke. Generally, actuators are designed so...
• A Closer Look At Proportional Control
  that delivers linearity, high frequency response, and low hysteresis using a unique solenoid construction. In the past, valves generated proportional flow by dithering on/off solenoids or by using linear solenoids. However, dithering increases the complexity of the electronic circuitry and yet does...
• Chrysler brings Ethernet to pneumatics
  operations with its higher-level office network, offering advantages in processing real-time information and making off-site monitoring feasible. And thanks to widespread availability, Ethernet devices cost significantly less than their fieldbus counterparts. Thus, Ethernet offers an extremely...
• Pneumatics ensures ultraclean packaging
  for filling and cleaning, inserts caps, and drives linear actuators for motion control. A DeviceNet fieldbus connects electronic controls, pressure switches, valves, and position sensors, and offers easy-to-decipher diagnostics. The easy-to-clean concept was a key consideration when selecting the pneumatics...
• Guidelines for sizing servohydraulics
  simulations demonstrate relatively stable pressures for the larger cylinder. Typical Bode plots show amplitude response and phase lag of the spool as a function of control-signal frequency. The graph shows operating characteristics of various valves. Linear valves with servo-quality spools provide flow...
• The Unsung Contributor to Plant Economic Performance
  Wherever goods and materials are manufactured, processed, or packaged, the process. often depends on fluid automation components. These include fluid control products. such as solenoid pilot valves, angle body piston valves, linear valve position indicators,. redundant control systems, and pressure...
• Dissecting high-performance electrohydraulic valves
  by physically linking it to the motor armature. These valves usually come in two basic varieties, those driven by linear force motors (LFM) and those actuated by proportional solenoids. Within these two general classifications, the valves can be separated into proportional and servoproportional...
• New FEA Tools For Engineering Analysts
  bending involves a large number of elements. The new element avoids this latter tactic. The 20-node element works with isotropic and orthotropic material models, and can be temperature-dependent, making it applicable to a wide range of linear material models. Additionally, a piezoelectric material model...
• Getting up to speed with wrap-spring clutch/brakes
  linear start-stop position as paper pays out and inertia drops. The addition of a stop collar and a control tang on the spring lets the output hub start and stop while the input hub spins. Stop collars come with one or more stops, up to 24/rev or 15° between stops. The control tang anchors to the stop...
