14. ACTUATORS

• Actuators cause motion on command in engineered systems.

14.1 ACTUATOR TYPES

There are a wide range of actuators. Some require simple on/off control while others require more sophisticated control.

Some common actuators are,

Stepper motors

Servo motors

Hydraulic valves (to drive hydraulic systems)

Pneumatic valves (to drive Pneumatic systems)

Solenoids

Synchronous motors

Magnetic coils for attraction, or repulsion

etc.

Most suppliers of actuators also sell drivers for their devices. These will amplify small signals that computers put out, to drive the devices, and these devices occasionally come with position (or equivalent) feedback abilities.

15.1 INTRODUCTION

15.1.1 Interfacing

• Outputs are sensitive to power spikes and might inadvertently turn on when there are transient voltage spikes. A resistor may need to be put in parallel with a load to ensure enough current is drawn to turn on the triac. The resistor size can be determined by
