Hi everyone,
Could anyone give me a simple description of how, once a pilot has triggered a linear actuator on an aircraft, what is transmitted through the cable, through the 6-pin connector and finally to the DC motor? Is it just a case of the pilot making a circuit and current flowing to the motor to start it and once the pilot has turned the switch off, the current and hence motor ceases? I know this is a simple question on here but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently designing an LVDT to go around the casing of a linear actuator to monitor the position and limit it's stroke so it doesn't overshoot. Therefore i need to build a circuit around the actuator and LVDT that will switch the motor off once a certain voltage has been reached. Any ideas on what the circuit should contain?
Many Thanks.
