ELECTROHYDRAULIC PROPORTIONAL PRESSURE CONTROL FOR OPEN CIRCUIT PUMP
A pump control assembly for controlling a variable displacement hydraulic pump includes a spool mounted within a valve block. The spool is configured to move between a first and a second position within the valve block so as to selectively control the displacement of the attached pump. The pump control assembly further includes first and second chambers that each apply a force to opposite ends of the spool. The first chamber is positioned at a first end of the spool in fluid communication with a pump output port. The second chamber is positioned at a second end of the spool and in fluid communication with a hydraulic tank port and a proportional pressure reducing valve. The second chamber also includes a piston and first and second springs positioned on either side of the piston. The proportional pressure reducing valve provides a regulated pressure to a first side of the piston along with the first spring, and the hydraulic tank port provides a tank pressure on the opposite side of the piston along with the second spring. The pump control assembly also includes a stop structure having a positive stop that limits movement of the piston in a direction toward the first chamber.
ANALYSIS DEVICE FOR GASES IN A COMPRESSED-GAS TANK
The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus for compressed gases in a compressed-gas tank, such as a breathing-air cylinder or the like, for determining gas components, in particular CO, CO.sub.2, O.sub.2, VOC, SO.sub.2, NO, NO.sub.2, helium and moisture, having a removal device which can be connected to the compressed-gas tank, characterised in that the removal device comprises a connection element which is under the pressure of the compressed gas to be analysed in the compressed-gas tank and can be coupled to a gas treatment device having a gas measuring and evaluating device for determining the desired gas components, the connection element is also pressurised when not connected to the compressed-gas tank, preferably by means of a shut-off valve, and the gas treatment device and the gas measuring and evaluating device are further also configured to monitor and analyse the compressed gases dispensed by a compressor to fill a compressed-gas tank.
Systems and methods for response vehicle pump control
A vehicle system for a vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to transmit a first control signal to a transmission of the vehicle to engage a first gear of the transmission, acquire information regarding a pressure of an inlet flow of water received by a pumping system of the vehicle, and transmit a second control signal to the transmission to engage a second gear of the transmission based on the information.
Remote monitoring for fluid applicator system
In one embodiment, a remote monitoring system for a fluid applicator system is disclosed. The fluid applicator system is disposed to heat and pump spray fluid, and to transmit reports including sensed temperatures, pressures, and other operational parameters of the fluid applicator system via a wireless network. The remote monitoring system comprises a data storage server, and an end user interface. The data storage server is configured to receive and archive the reports. The end user interface is configured to provide a graphical user interface based on the reports. The graphical user interface illustrates a status of the fluid handling system, sensed and commanded temperatures of the fluid handling system, sensed and commanded pressures of the fluid handling system, and usage statistics of the fluid handling system.
SUBSTRATE SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES HAVING INTERNAL SHAFT AREAS WITH ISOLATED ENVIRONMENTS THAT MITIGATE OXIDATION
A substrate support assembly includes a shaft body, a plate attached to an upper portion of the shaft body, and a plug or cap attached to a lower portion of the shaft body. The shaft body, the plate and the plug or cap define an internal shaft area having an isolated environment. The internal shaft area is a vacuum environment or comprises an inert gas.
Internet connected adjustable structural support and cushioning system for footwear
An apparatus for a shoe sole with an air pump for adjusting pressure levels in air chambers distributed throughout the sole, and a battery. A sole system cloud based application remotely connects to and adjusts the air chambers according to user preferences.
Device for pumping fluid
The disclosure herein relates to device, for example a gear pump, for pumping fluid. The gear pump comprises a motor for driving a rotatable drive shaft; a drive gear configured to be driven by the drive shaft; an idler gear which meshes with the drive gear; an annular magnet disposed coaxially with the drive shaft and configured to rotate therewith; and a sensor for sensing rotation of the annular magnet and generating an output signal corresponding to a rotational position of the drive shaft.
Away mode for a compressed air system
A control system for a compressed air system is configured to implement an “away mode” of operation that provides for a temporary override of the operation of the compressed air system, which can be easily enabled and disabled. During a period of down time, when the away mode of operation is enabled, the control system causes the compressed air system to operate in a limited capacity (e.g., maintaining limited system pressure, flow, higher dewpoint/humidity level, etc.) to minimize energy usage and limit unnecessary wear on system equipment without shutting down the compressed air system.
Predictively adjustable hydraulic pressure rails
A robotic device may traverse a path in a direction of locomotion. Sensor data indicative of one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion may be received. The implementation may further involve determining that traversing the path involves traversing the one or more physical features of the environment. Based on the sensor data indicative of the one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion, a hydraulic pressure to supply to the one or more hydraulic actuators to traverse the one or more physical features of the environment may be predicted. Before traversing the one or more physical features of the environment, the hydraulic drive system may adjust pressure of supplied hydraulic fluid from the first pressure to the predicted hydraulic pressure.
Method for operating a hydraulic device with pump and servomotor, and associated hydraulic device
In a method for operating a hydraulic device for providing a supply to hydraulic consumers (V) on a plastics injection moulding machine, provision is made of a pump (10) with a volumetric delivery characteristic that results in cyclic pulsations and of a servomotor (11) with multiple poles that result in cyclic pulsations. The pressure at the hydraulic consumer (V) is detected and is input as an actual value into a pressure regulator (13) that readjusts the servomotor (11), on the basis of a predefined pressure profile, to a pressure setpoint value at the hydraulic consumer (V). The cyclic pressure pulsation is minimized in that, by means of a rotational angle sensor (20), the rotational angle (φ) of the pump (10) and/or of the servomotor (11) is detected and correlated with the cyclic pulsations, and in that, from this, a corrective value or a corrective function is determined and is transmitted to the pressure regulator (13) with control subordinate to the regulation of the pressure setpoint value. Alternatively or in addition, this is achieved in the case of a hydraulic device also in that, as corrective means for the pressure regulation, said means being subordinate to the consideration of the pulsations, the number of components of the pump (10) that result in the cyclic pulsations and the number of components of the servomotor (11) that generate cyclic pulsations are equal, or one is a multiple of the other.
