Design and characteristics of artificial heart control system
Nutating stepping motor consists of an output rotating gear and a nutating gear. A flueric logic circuit controls the nutating motor. The complete system constitutes a reliable, open loop actuator system with inherently high output stiffness, reasonable slewing speeds and small step size.
Pneumatic analog-to-pulse frequency converter circuit has output pulse frequency proportional to the pressure level of the input signal. Converter circuit drives a pneumatic stepping motor and is part of a pneumatic control system for nuclear powered spacecraft.
Fluidic integrated circuits for control of pneumatic stepping-motor actuator system
Valve was developed using air bearings which provide frictionless operation. The servo valve is of the flat plate type with rectangular meter openings. Fluid bearings support the metering plate. The overlap is adjustable by means of a variable hinge block support.
