2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A traveling-nut linear actuator has a motor that stays attached to one end of the lead screw (perhaps indirectly through a gear box), the motor spins the lead screw, and the lead nut is restrained from spinning so it travels up and down the lead screw. A traveling-screw linear actuator has a lead screw that passes entirely through the motor.

3. Closed-loop controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_controller

   In the case of linear feedback systems, a control loop including sensors, control algorithms, and actuators is arranged in an attempt to regulate a variable at a setpoint (SP). An everyday example is the cruise control on a road vehicle; where external influences such as hills would cause speed changes, and the driver has the ability to alter ...

4. Servomotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

   A servomotor (or servo motor or simply servo) [1] is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It constitutes part of a servomechanism , and consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback and a controller ...

5. Electrohydraulic servo valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydraulic_servo_valve

   For instance, some have internal feedback so that the input signal effectively control flow or output pressure, rather than spool position. Servo valves are often used in a feedback control where the position or force on a hydraulic cylinder is measured, and fed back into a controller that varies the signal sent to the servo valve. This allows ...

6. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Gate Valve with Handwheel (L) and with Linear Pneumatic Actuator (R) A linear actuator opens and closes valves that can be operated via linear force, the type sometimes called a "rising stem" valve. These types of valves include globe valves, rising stem ball valves, control valves and gate valves. [2] The two main types of linear actuators are ...

7. Plant (control theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_(control_theory)

   A plant in control theory is the combination of process and actuator.A plant is often referred to with a transfer function (commonly in the s-domain) which indicates the relation between an input signal and the output signal of a system without feedback, commonly determined by physical properties of the system.
