Electro-hydraulic converters
APPLICATION ECV85 Series converters are used as a current/pressure transducers to drive hydraulic servo actuators and provide a regulated pressure directly or inversely proportional to the control current. The regulation is optimized for a wide range of flow rate. The flow limitation is inside the converter for types D and R and outside for types D2 and D3, typically by means of calibrated orifices. The swing-disk positions itself under the action of the force exerted by the solenoid, proportional to the control current, and of the opposing force due to the pressure of the oil, thereby regulating the flow rate. The pressure drop across the calibrated orifice, which is function of the oil flow discharged, determines the oil pressure under the swing disk thus regulating the output oil pressure. In the event of null current, the pressure drops below the minimum of the regulating range. DESCRIPTION From the structural point of view, an ECV85 Series converter consists of a manifold fitted with a solenoid, a valve seat, pipe connections, as well as connections for the control instruments. The resulting structure is compact and easy to install and reduces connecting pipes to a minimum. INSTALLATION An ECV85 Series converter is normally used in a closed loop system, in which case the feedback is obtained by means of a modulated oil pressure signal provided by a transducer fitted directly onto the casing of the converter. When the converter is fitted with a pressure transmitter all the static errors (nonlinearity, hysteresis, insensitivity) are cancelled without impairing dynamic performance.
