  2. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  3. 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.

  4. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls. A jammed actuator may be freed simply by cleaning it. However an actuator that has stopped working due to a fault in its servomotor will need replacement. Air leaks in either the stepper housing or pipes will cause elevated idle RPM.

  5. Swirl flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  6. Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

    Pilot valves are valves which are used to control other valves. Pilot valves in the actuator lines control the supply of air or liquid going to the actuators. The fill valve in a toilet water tank is a liquid level-actuated valve. When a high water level is reached, a mechanism shuts the valve which fills the tank.

  7. Pneumatic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_actuator

    A pneumatic actuator mainly consists of a piston or a diaphragm which develops the motive power. It keeps the air in the upper portion of the cylinder, allowing air pressure to force the diaphragm or piston to move the valve stem or rotate the valve control element. Valves require little pressure to operate and usually double or triple the ...

  8. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust spent gases at the end of the cycle. In a conventional ...

  9. Scotch yoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_yoke

    This setup is most commonly used in control valve actuators in high-pressure oil and gas pipelines. Although not a common metalworking machine nowadays, crude shapers can use Scotch yokes. Almost all those use a Whitworth linkage , which gives a slow speed forward cutting stroke and a faster return.
