mechanical valve actuator
1Valve — This article is about the flow control device. For the game developer, see Valve Corporation. For the electronic component, see Vacuum tube. For other uses, see Valve (disambiguation). These water valves are operated by handles. A valve is a… …
2Mechanical system — This article is about systems that manage mechanical movement. For other uses, see Machine (disambiguation). A mechanical system manages power to accomplish a task that involves forces and movement. Mechanical is derived from the Latin word… …
3actuator — [1]A device which controls or operates another device. [2] The portion of a regulating valve which converts mechanical fluid, thermal energy, or electrical energy into mechanical motion to open or close the valve seats Also see hydraulic… …
4Continuous variable valve timing — offers a unique ability to have independent control of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine. For any engine load criteria, the timing of intake and exhaust can be independently programmed [1]. The main variations of… …
5Poppet valve — A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most… …
6Pneumatic actuator — A pneumatic actuator converts energy (in the form of compressed air, typically) into motion. The motion can be rotary or linear, depending on the type of actuator. Some types of pneumatic actuators include: *Tie rod cylinders *Rotary actuators… …
7Butterfly valve — A butterfly valve is a type of flow control device, typically used to regulate a fluid flowing through a section of pipe. The valve is similar in operation to a ball valve. A flat circular plate is positioned in the center of the pipe. The plate… …
8Variable valve timing — Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. Two… …
9Thermostatic Radiator Valve — A Thermostatic Radiator Valve, (TRV), is a self regulating valve fitted to hot water heating system radiators. The TRV controls the temperature of a room by regulating the flow of hot water to the radiator.TRVs consist of two parts, a valve that… …
10Ball valve — A ball valve (like the butterfly valve and plug valve are one of the family of valves called quarter turn valves ) is a valve that opens by turning a handle attached to a ball inside the valve. The ball has a hole, or port, through the middle so… …
