  2. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

  3. Variable force solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_force_solenoid

    A spring force due to spring compression by valve position; A magnetic force primarily due to regulated current through the solenoid coil; A pressure force due controlled flow areas and supply pressure, often called line pressure; The VFS can be designed such that any of these forces act in either axial direction.

  4. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The term "solenoid" also often refers to a solenoid valve, an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, a specific type of relay that uses an internal electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter ...

  5. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    An automatic control valve consists of three main parts in which each part exist in several types and designs: Valve actuator – which moves the valve's modulating element, such as ball or butterfly. Valve positioner – which ensures the valve has reached the desired degree of opening. This overcomes the problems of friction and wear.

    A measure of a substance's ability to pass an electric current. electrical conductor An object that carries an electric current, with little loss. electrical contact A separable part of an electric device that carries current when touching another contact. electrical discharge machining (EDM) Shaping of a work place by small sparks. electrical ...

  7. Solenoid voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_voltmeter

    A solenoid voltmeter is a specific type of voltmeter electricians use to test electrical power circuits. [1] It uses a solenoid coil to attract a spring-loaded plunger; the movement of the plunger is calibrated in terms of approximate voltage. It is more rugged than a D'arsonval movement, but neither as sensitive nor as precise.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    A spring is a device consisting of an elastic but largely rigid material (typically metal) bent or molded into a form (especially a coil) that can return into shape after being compressed or extended. [1] Springs can store energy when compressed. In everyday use, the term most often refers to coil springs, but
