Description

APECS™ 0175 linear actuators deliver precise positioning and form the foundation of a full electronic governing system.

Many of the moving parts normally associated with electric actuators are eliminated, prolonging the MTBF (mean time between failure).

The actuator design employs the principle of variable reluctance for consistent force over the entire stroke.

This simple design of a proportional electric linear actuator utilizes a linear armature whose magnetic force is proportional to the input current to the coil.

These actuators are easy to install by mounting near the fuel system with a direct connection to the fuel control rod or level.

In most installations, the normal rotary-torotary connection www.abb-drive.com is eliminated, resulting in a more trouble-free and accurate control system.

APECS 0175 actuators are suitable for installation on diesel, gasoline, or natural gas engines with fuel system force requirements of less than 4.0 pounds (17.8 N) of force.

Woodward also manufactures 0175 actuators integral to the engine block or fuel pump.
