2. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

   In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2] [3] [4]

3. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A traveling-nut linear actuator has a motor that stays attached to one end of the lead screw (perhaps indirectly through a gear box), the motor spins the lead screw, and the lead nut is restrained from spinning so it travels up and down the lead screw. A traveling-screw linear actuator has a lead screw that passes entirely through the motor.

4. Solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

   A solenoid (/ ˈ s oʊ l ə n ɔɪ d / [1]) is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire whose length is substantially greater than its diameter, [2] which generates a controlled magnetic field. The coil can produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space when an electric current is passed through it.

5. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   Power consumption and supply requirements of the solenoid vary with application, being primarily determined by fluid pressure and orifice diameter. For example, a popular 3 ⁄ 4-inch 150 psi sprinkler valve, intended for 24 VAC (50–60 Hz) residential systems, has a momentary inrush of 7.2 VA, and a holding power requirement of 4.6 VA. [5]

6. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   A linear actuator opens and closes valves that can be operated via linear force, the type sometimes called a "rising stem" valve. These types of valves include globe valves, rising stem ball valves, control valves and gate valves. [2] The two main types of linear actuators are diaphragm and piston.

7. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

   With all in-line slider-crank mechanisms, the stroke is twice the length of the crank arm. Therefore, given the stroke, the length of the crank arm can be determined. This relationship is represented as: L 2 = (ΔR 4) max ÷ 2. Once L 2 is found, the follower length (L 3) can be determined. However, because the stroke of the mechanism only ...
