Control system provides proportioned fluid flow rates in response to demand signals. It compares a digital signal, representing a flow demand, with a reference signal to yield a control voltage to one or more solenoid valves connected to orifices of a predetermined size.
Remotely controlled sampling device obtains timed sample of flowing cryogenic liquid propellants in remote or hazardous testing conditions. The device consists of a calibrated container, a dewar, a solenoid valve, a pressure gage, and a manual bleed valve.
Reciprocating pump maintains a precise level of liquid helium in a cryostat. The pump contains a niobium solenoid armature that is maintained in a superconductive state by the liquid helium.
Dual replenisher system reduces chemical losses and maintains optimum solution concentration during long nonprocessing cycles of photo processing machines. Using a single 3-position switch and solenoid control valves, the system provides instantaneous flow control to each processing tank.
Miniature solenoid valve controls propellant flow during tests on a coaxial plasma accelerator. It uses an advanced ferromagnetic core design which meets all the rapid-acting requirements with a minimum of input energy.
Solenoid stepper motor for positioning Surveyor antenna/solar cell panel
High-torque power wrench is small enough to be handled by one or two men yet has sufficient torque to remove 1-1/2- to 4-inch nuts from high-pressure tanks and valves. The action can be made automatic by use of solenoid-operated valves and suitable switches.
Superconductive magnet with solenoid of 50 cm outside diameter, discussing stored energy, composition, etc
Separation simulator, consisting of a control panel and an electromechanical simulator unit, simulates electrical separation of space flight vehicle stages. Simulation is accomplished by electrically inserting the simulator between the normal interstage couplings of the vehicle. Actual separation is accomplished by energizing two solenoids.
Cryogenic solenoids with pure Al conductor for production of strong magnetic fields, discussing softness and strain resistivity problems
Superconducting magnet, employed in conjunction with five types of superconducting cables in a nested solenoid configuration, produces total, central magnetic field strengths approaching 70 kG. The multiple coils permit maximum information on cable characteristics to be gathered from one test.
Solenoid two-step valve for bipropellant flow rate control to rocket engine
Spacecraft gas jet leak detection system using solenoid valve
Analyzer operates unattended or up to 15 hours. It has an automatic sample injection system and can be programmed. All fluid-flow valve switching is accomplished pneumatically from miniature three-way solenoid pilot valves.
Proportional pulsed pilot valve using conventional efficient solenoid valve for pilot stage provides proportional thrust control for cold gas thrusters with zero leakage of main stage.
Automatic recording McLeod gage with three electrodes and solenoid valve connection
Automatic power supply circuit design for driving inductive loads and minimizing power consumption including solenoid example
Magnetic torquer for satellite attitude control consisting of solenoid with hard magnetic material core
