A fluid valve for a hydraulic circuit of an aircraft includes a valve body with an inlet and two outlets. The valve further includes a solenoid electric actuator with a ferromagnetic mobile driver and a valve member having a ferromagnetic portion/ The valve member is movable within the valve body along a main direction and has first and second ends that define first and second cavities, respectively, on opposite sides of the valve member. A longitudinal cavity extends through the valve member parallel to the main direction and opens into the second cavity. Relative displacement between the mobile driver and the valve member modifies a communication between the longitudinal cavity and the first cavity via a side opening that is perpendicular to the main direction.

Fluid valve

A fluid valve includes a valve member located between a first cavity and a second cavity, and an actuator that includes a pilot. The valve member is moved by the balance between the pressure prevailing in the first cavity and the pressure prevailing in the second cavity. The valve member includes a longitudinal hole that can be blocked by the pilot so as to modify the pressure prevailing in the first cavity and the force acting on the valve member so as to vary a fluid flow rate between an inlet and two outlets. The valve member is attached to a piston, one end of which is located in a third cavity. The force acting on the valve member is determined by the pressures prevailing in the various cavities.

A fluid valve is suitable for use with a hydraulic circuit of an item of aircraft equipment. The fluid valve includes a valve body having one inlet, two outlets and a communication channel with an external pressure source. The fluid valve further includes an electric solenoid actuator located in the valve body and having a movable ferromagnetic pilot. A valve member is movable inside valve body to at least partially block a passage between said inlet and one of the two outlets. The valve member at least partially defines first and second cavities. A fixed limiter is disposed within the communication channel such that a displacement of the movable pilot causes a variation in pressure in one of the first and second cavities to produce a force for moving the valve member.

Fluidic valve

An arming and safety device for a pyrotechnic chain, the device including a housing presenting an inlet zone for a pyrotechnic stream and an outlet zone for the pyrotechnic stream, an arming element housed in the housing between the inlet and outlet zones and adapted to move between a disarmed position in which it blocks the passage of the pyrotechnic stream and an armed position in which it allows the pyrotechnic stream to pass, and an electric motor for driving the arming element. The stator of the electric motor is situated outside the housing, and the rotor is contained entirely inside the housing.

Arming and safety device

The present disclosure relates to an electromagnetic actuator. The actuator comprises a casing, a sleeve, coils, a permanent magnet, cores and a movable plunger. The present disclosure is unusual in that the sleeve is made of magnetic material. The sleeve enables a single component to mechanically and hydraulically isolate the plunger from the coils. The sleeve is also made of a material having a lower saturation induction than that of the materials used in other parts of the magnetic circuit. The actuator is also suitable for incorporation into a submerged cryogenic valve.
