A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...
Tolomatic’s John Fenske and Mason Cousins weigh in on how the industry is repositioning as electrification, systems ...
A predictive approach to finding potential issues with steam or gas turbine valve actuators can help power plant operators realize cost savings and avoid unit downtime. Having a way to analyze ...
Rotary actuators produce oscillating power by rotating an output shaft through a fixed arc. They are compact, simple, and efficient. They produce high instantaneous torque in either direction and ...
Examples of pneumatic (left) and electronic actuators from Bimba Manufacturing Company. The question of whether it’s better to use pneumatic or electric actuators as part of your system design or to ...
At a time of surging demand for electric energy, the power industry has to ensure reliable and stable supply with the flexibility needed to handle intermittent wind and solar generation. Through ...
The evolution towards zonal architecture is driving opportunities in the development of smart actuators and micro-motors emphasizing edge computing. Smart actuators, integrating computing and sensing, ...
Researchers in CU Boulder’s Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering recently uncovered new information that could revolutionize the design of electrohydraulic soft actuators to enable robots ...
Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...
They work in harsh environments, and they get little or no recognition. But their impact on power plant efficiency can be significant. Valves and actuators are critical in almost every aspect of power ...
