Digital Electrohydraulic Stepper Actuator for Advanced Missile Systems.

Abstract

A high performance digital electrohydraulic stepper actuator was designed, fabricated, and tested. Performance and space requirements were derived from design studies for the Multipurpose Missile. The design provides digital interface compatibility while achieving the required performance characteristics. The actuator performed well at the rated conditions of 140 degrees per second and 1333 inch pounds load. No load speed achieved during test was over twice as great as the 250 degrees per second required. Stall torque exceeded the 2000 inch pounds design requirement. The actuator has yet to be evaluated at the 600 F design environment.
