  2. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Butterfly valve with actuator electric valve - An electrically actuated butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve controlled by an electric motor. It offers fast and precise flow regulation, remote operation, and versatility for various applications.

  3. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

  4. Pneumatic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_actuator

    This pressure is transferred to the valve stem, which is connected to either the valve plug (see plug valve), butterfly valve etc. Larger forces are required in high pressure or high flow pipelines to allow the valve to overcome these forces, and allow it to move the valves moving parts to control the material flowing inside.

  5. Rotary actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_actuator

    Where a supply of vacuum is available, but not pneumatic power, rotary actuators have even been made to work from vacuum power. The only common instance of these was for early automatic windscreen wipers on cars up until around 1960. These used the manifold vacuum of a petrol engine to work a quarter-turn oscillating vane actuator. Such ...

  6. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Simplified diagram of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper [citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring.

  7. Poppet valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppet_valve

    The word poppet shares etymology with "puppet": it is from the Middle English popet ("youth" or "doll"), from Middle French poupette, which is a diminutive of poupée.The use of the word poppet to describe a valve comes from the same word applied to marionettes, which, like the poppet valve, move bodily in response to remote motion transmitted linearly.

  8. Damper winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_winding

    Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage-like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine. It is used to dampen the transient ...

  9. Damping torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_torque

    Damping torque is provided by indicating instrument. Damper is a generic term used to identify any mechanism used for vibration energy absorption, the shaft vibration suppression, soft start and overload protection device. In order to design an efficient damper, it is imperative that the damping torque is calculated first.
