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.
In accounting, a current asset is an asset that can reasonably be expected to be sold, consumed, or exhausted through the normal operations of a business within the current fiscal year, operating cycle, or financial year. In simple terms, current assets are assets that are held for a short period.
As a result, non-current assets/liabilities are listed first followed by current assets/liabilities. [7] Current assets are the most liquid assets of a firm, which are expected to be realized within a 12-month period. Current assets include: cash - physical money; accounts receivable - revenues earned but not yet collected
This accounting definition of assets includes items that are not owned by an enterprise, for example a leased building (Finance lease), but excludes employees because, while they have the capacity to generate economic benefits, an employer cannot control an employee. In economics, an asset (economics) is any form in which wealth can be held.
These include dc brush, dc brushless, stepper, or in some cases, even induction motors. It all depends on the application requirements and the loads the actuator is designed to move. For example, a linear actuator using an integral horsepower AC induction motor driving a lead screw can be used to operate a large valve in a refinery.
Examples are accumulated depreciation (offset against fixed assets), and the allowance for bad debts (offset against accounts receivable). Deferred interest is also offset against receivables rather than being classified as a liability. Contra accounts are also often referred to as adjustments or adjusting accounts.
Current assets: Assets which operate in a financial year or assets that can be used up, or converted within one year or less are called current assets. For example, Cash, bank, accounts receivable , inventory (people who owe us money, due within one year), prepaid expenses, prepaid insurance, VAT input and many more.
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.
