  2. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    An actuator is a component of a machine that produces force, torque, or displacement, when an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic input is supplied to it in a system (called an actuating system). The effect is usually produced in a controlled way. [1] An actuator translates such an input signal into the required form of mechanical energy.

  3. Linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

    A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus, instead of producing a torque , it produces a linear force along its length. However, linear motors are not necessarily straight. Characteristically, a linear motor's active section has ends, whereas more conventional motors are arranged as a continuous loop.

  4. Armature Controlled DC Motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Controlled_DC_Motor

    A motor is an actuator, converting electrical energy in to rotational mechanical energy.A motor requiring a DC power supply for operation is termed a DC motor.DC motors are widely used in control applications like robotics, tape drives, machines and many more.

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The motor size constant ... of 2 (m/s)/V, that is, the linear actuator generates one volt of back-EMF when moved (or driven) at a rate of 2 m/s.

  6. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    The motor may be attached to the end of the actuator. The drive motor is of typical construction with a solid drive shaft that is geared to the drive nut or drive screw of the actuator. Compact linear actuators use specially designed motors that try to fit the motor and actuator into the smallest possible shape.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_electrical_and...

    A circuit where rectifier devices are externally controlled to change AC to current flowing in one direction. actuator An end device of a control system, that manipulates a physical variable such as a valve opening or position of a machine part. adaptive control A control strategy where parameters are adjusted as the controlled process changes.

  8. AS-Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS-interface

    Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-Interface or ASi) is an industrial networking solution (Physical Layer, Data access Method and Protocol) used in PLC, DCS and PC-based automation systems. It is designed for connecting simple field I/O devices (e.g. binary ON/OFF devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, analog inputs and outputs, push ...

  9. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

    Throttle body with integrated motor actuator. Electronic throttle control (ETC) is an automotive technology that uses electronics to replace the traditional mechanical linkages between the driver's input such as a foot pedal to the vehicle's throttle mechanism which regulates speed or acceleration.
