Modeling and Simulation of Jetpipe Servovalve Torque Motor

Abstract

The torque motor is a precision mechatronic component used to convert low electric signal into linear mechanical displacement of the Jetpipe. Such torque motors are categorized under multi disciplinary engineering systems, which are complex in nature and also induces challenges to integrate with hydraulic system. This paper applies model-based system design approach of jetpipe servovalve torque motor to study the effect of critical parameters like armature length and air gap, feedback spring stiffness, and flexure tube stiffness on the dynamic performance of the were studied.
