Servo-driven valve gates.


Precise control of valve gates is provided by a new electric servo linear actuator A linear actuator is a device that develops force and motion from an available energy sourcelinearly. Basic operation
A linear actuator is used to generate controlled physical linear displacement. There are various means of achieving this linear displacement.

, Minn. The ServoGate actuator A mechanism that causes a device to be turned on or off, adjusted or moved. The motor and mechanism that moves the head assembly on a disk drive or an arm of a robot is called an actuator. See access arm.  replaces hydraulic manifolds and power systems used for valve-gate control and sequencing. A threaded rod connected to the valve gate passes through the hollow shaft of the linear actuator. The actuator delivers a continuous force of 500 lb as well as fast (less than 0.5 sec) gate movements. The actuator is operated by Tol-O-Matic's Axiom Plus PV brushless servo controller. Windows-based software allows for point-and-click programming of the valve gate. The system is water cooled Refers to a cooling system that uses water. Similar to a car, systems for electronics circulate water in a loop, through a cooling radiator, to all of the heat sources. In personal computers, the hottest devices are the CPU chip and GPU chip (the processor on the display adapter).  to operate at up to 400 F. Tel: (763) 478-8000 * PT Direct: 494PV
