An actuator assembly for use in conjunction with a pneumatic valve assembly of the type which includes an airway having an inlet port, an outlet port, and a valve disposed within the airway and configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position, comprises a first actuator coupled to the valve for moving the valve between the open position and the closed position in a first operational mode, and a second actuator coupled to the valve for opening the valve in a second operational mode.

Anti-icing actuator assembly for pneumatic valve

A valve assembly includes a fully-integrated actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes, within a single housing assembly, a torque source, a position sensor, a gear train, and an output shaft. The torque source is adapted to receive one or more position control signals and, in response, to supplies a drive force. The position sensor is coupled to receive the drive force and, in response, supplies a signal representative of valve position. The output shaft is coupled to receive the drive force from the torque source, and thereby selectively moves the valve, upon receipt of the drive force, between the open and closed positions.
