b) With current input max. 10A – typical examples are actuators from GAC, Woodward
Flowtech ITB.
It is electro-magnetic actuator with a strong return spring. This is in principle electromagnet
with proportional characteristic – the bigger is the current to the actuator, the bigger is the
angle of the actuator. The polarity of the current is not important. This type of actuator can be
with or without position feedback. For this actuator choose option ActType: Wiring: LINEAR or
LINEAR NO FEEDBACK.
c) Motor driven actuators – typical examples are actuators from Heinzmann (STG 6, 10, 30,
2040.)
It is in principle a DC electromotor driving actuator lever. Since it is a motor, it has integrating
characteristic – as long as the current flows through the actuator, actuator’s lever moves.
Direction of movement of the actuator lever depends on polarity of the current. This type of
actuator has always position feedback. For this actuator choose option ActTypex: Wiring:
BRIDGE. For Heinzmann actuators, Jumper P21 – supply of the position feedback must be
set to option 0-10V. For Woodward and GAC actuators this jumper must be set to position 0-
5V.
