3. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

   The hydraulic force generated by pressing the brake pedal is used only as a sensor input to the computer unless a catastrophic failure occurs including a loss of 12-volt electrical power. The brake actuator has an electric pump that provides the hydraulic pressure for the system, and valves to pressurize each wheel caliper to apply the friction ...

   Centrifugal fly-ball actuator. The fly-ball actuator was introduced to R/C modelling in 1951 by Brayton Paul, [5] and consisted of an electric motor and a centrifugal governor connected to a free-running axis that could, with the motor running, pull a rudder control rod by varying degrees. Used with a keyed radio system, this allowed some ...

5. 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.

6. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   In some cases, high viscosity grease can be added to linear screw actuators to increase the static load. Some manufacturers use this to alter the load for specific needs. Static load capacity can be added to a linear screw actuator using an electromagnetic brake system, which applies friction to the spinning drive nut. For example, a spring may ...
