Latest Patents
One of Frederic's latest patents is a method for controlling a holding force against, and limiting impact with travel limit positions. This invention involves an actuator that includes a motor operated by a controller through a pulse width modulation drive signal. The actuator has an output shaft connected to a coupling structure for manipulating devices such as variable geometry turbines (VGT) or exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves. The device's range of motion is limited by first and second mechanical stops located at opposing ends. The controller learns the location of these mechanical stops during calibration, allowing for precise control. An external control unit transmits a desired position to the actuator, and a protocol enables the external control unit to request a positioning mode based on the desired position's value range. The controller is designed to limit the drive signal to a non-harmful level when pushing the device against one of the stops.
