Valve Opening/Closing Tight Stop

Valve Opening/Closing Accuracy Improvement

Issue: Opening and Closing Valves with Accuracy

Equipment can use AC motors to adjust the inflow and outflow of liquids and gases such as water and chemicals by opening and closing valves

Challenge:

  • Large overruns and difficult to adjust opening and closing
  • Positioning motors, such as stepper motors, are expensive and need complex system configurations

Solution: Low-Speed Synchronous Motors SMK Series Achieve Precise Stopping at a Low Cost

Low-Speed Synchronous Motor SMK Series

Because the SMK Series motors have the same configuration as AC motors and they can be stopped with no overrun, opening and closing of the valve can be adjusted easily and accurately.

Specific Application Examples

Inexpensive Configuration and Precise Opening/Closing of the Valve

On the motor shaft, the overrun at stop is within 10˚. By simply turning off the power supply, the valve can be stopped instantly, thus increasing the accuracy of opening and closing the valves. The system configuration is the same as that of AC motors, so it can be installed without major design changes.
