THROTTLE ACTUATORS SAW It is composed by a group of mechanical actuation and includes a linear d.c. servo motor for optimum dynamic performances. To allow a quick and easy calibration of throttle actuator stroke, the mechanical unit includes two pushbuttons which are used to increase and decrease the throttle opening (from Idle to WOT and back). In this way the operator can easily meet the appropriate travel of the engine in few minutes. The main characteristics of the mechanical unit are: Max. force 170 N Permanent force 46 N Max. stroke 100 mm Max. acceleration 268 m/s² Max. speed 2.6 m/s Positioning repeatability ± 0.1 mm Linearity ± 0.4 % SAR Consists of a group of mechanics and implementation includes a brushless AC servo rotary with excellent dynamic performance. The main characteristics of the mechanical unit are: Pull-in torque 22 Nm Continuous torque 9,1 Nm Operational angle <=90 Toll. ±0,5 Peak speed 0,3/90 sec (625 rpm) Positioning accuracy ± 0,75 min di arco Absolute accuracy 1/4096 rev.
