Description
Divert valve actuators require fast response times and in turn high accelerations. Motor-driven divert actuators offer an opportunity to optimize their performance per weight by minimizing the mass to be accelerated while maintaining high torque capability and increasing the functional temperature capacity. Aveox Incorporated (Aveox) and Alliant Techsystems Incorporated (ATK) propose designing a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor that will optimize performance around these divert actuator characteristics with a Phase II goal of offering a light weight actuator that meets mission requirements.
