An example valve includes a housing, a sleeve disposed within the housing and having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and the sleeve includes a plurality of sleeve protrusions at the first end and a plurality of fluid flow channels are formed between adjacent sleeve protrusions, a seal carrier disposed within the sleeve and having a carrier protrusion that extends from the second end of the sleeve and abuts against an interior surface of the housing, and an end cap mounted to the housing such that the plurality of sleeve protrusions abut against the end cap.

An emergency extension system for extending at least one aircraft undercarriage, the emergency extension system comprising both electromechanical actuators, each electromechanical actuator having an identification component arranged to allocate an identifier to said electromechanical actuator, which identifier depends in particular on a function performed by said electromechanical actuator, and also an electrical card having a delay component arranged to delay actuation of a the electromechanical actuator by an actuation delay that depends on the identifier allocated to the electromechanical actuator, the electromechanical actuators of the emergency extension system thus being arranged to be actuated in succession in an actuation sequence that is defined by the actuation delays.

The present disclosure provides a compressed air processing system of which the operation of supplying compressed air and the regeneration operation can be efficiently controlled by an electronic control unit. In particular, the present disclosure is characterized in that the pressure of a regeneration sequence valve installed in a regeneration line is increased over a set pressure by controlling a valve, which is electronically controlled, to switch, so the opening time of the regeneration line is delayed in comparison to the opening time of an unloader valve, whereby regeneration efficiency is improved.

A flow controller that changes the flow rate of air exhausted from an air cylinder in mid-stroke includes a first switching valve displaced from a first position to a second position under the effect of pilot air, and causing one port of the air cylinder to communicate with a first channel at the first position, exhausting air exhausted from the one port of the air cylinder while reducing the flow rate of the air using a first regulating valve at the second position. Since the pilot air is taken into the first switching valve from a second channel in a system different from the system of the first channel, a second regulating valve can be adjusted without being affected by the degree of opening of the first regulating valve.

A pneumatic control device includes a base seat unit, a cylinder unit and a time-delay unit. The cylinder unit is mounted the base seat unit, and is able to drive rotational movement. The time-delay unit is mounted to the base seat unit, and includes sequentially interconnected delay switch, flow-limiting valve, pressure accumulator and a control valve. The delay switch is operable to move between an action position whereat the cylinder unit drives the rotational movement, and a non-action position. When the delay switch is moved to the non-action position, the cylinder unit keeps driving the rotational movement for a period of time and then stops.

Universal control circuitry for an electro-hydraulic valve actuator system includes logic gate circuitry to control one or more of a closing solenoid valve, an opening solenoid valve, an emergency shutdown solenoid valve, and a hydraulic fluid pump motor to route hydraulic fluid through a hydraulic circuit to actuate a valve via a hydraulic actuator according to received commands. The universal control circuitry is configured to control operation for multiple different configurations of a hydraulic valve actuator system including double-acting configurations, single-acting spring-to-open configurations, and single-acting spring-to-close configurations, each with or without an emergency shutdown arrangement (which may be configured to trip based on an external shutdown input alone or in combination with a local system power failure), a hydraulic accumulator, and maintained or momentary input commands.

A time-based power boost control system. A fluid source supplies fluid. A relief device relieves pressure of the fluid supplied by the fluid source when the pressure of the fluid exceeds a relief pressure level. A control device controls the relief device. When a boost mode in which at least a first level of pressure and a second level of pressure, higher than the first level of pressure, are allowed to be selectively used as the relief pressure level is active, a length of a boost-on time in which the second level of pressure is used as the relief pressure level is shorter than a preset maximum boost-on time limit, and a length of a succeeding boost-off time succeeding the boost-on time in which the first level of pressure is used as the relief pressure level is equal to or longer than a preset minimum boost-off time limit.
