MTS Temposonic Position Sensors for Steel mills GH & RH Series

In this Application, the quality of sheet metal gauging depends on the performance of the position feedback and the continuos throughtput of the rolling process, on the dependability of the position sensor, even in the harshest steel mill conditions. Because poor end product quality and machine downtime are costly in the industry, customers choose MTS temposonics position sensors to keep their processe running at peak efficiencies.

Application : Roll gap positining & Roll bend application on a steel rolling mill Benefits :

  • Superior response and accuracy result in higher mill performance and optimized material flow control.
  • Accuracy also results in higher consistancy from change over to change over as well as reduced setup time and prevention of roll damage.
  • Rugged, reliable construction allows for use in wide range of environmentally harsh conditions.
  • Superior EMI and noise immunity ensures trouble free operation in a wide variety of applications.
  • Fail safe Servovalves when electronics failure takes place.

Servovalve – Technology

The Servocontrols – Star valve utilizes a Jewelled feedback ball on their feedback wire assembly so that valve will have longer span of operation before “Glitch” effect. Our feedback wire ball is made of SAPPHIRE this is much harder than diamond so there is no wear and tear on the ball and thus prevents null shift and null drifting, Even the end orifices are made of SAPPHIRE so their is no wear and tear inside the orifice and even contamination ie, Micronic level is cut into still smaller level and thus can increase the life of the valve.

To our customer where servovalve life, performance and reliability go, our objective is to offer highest quality products and services beyond that our competitors have tried to match.

Flow Vs Pressure drop characteristics

The nomical rated flow of a servovalves is the load flow under conditions of 100% electrical input and 70 bar total valve pressure drop. The load flow pressure characteristics closely approximates the theorotical squareroot relationship of a sharp edged orifice ( figure 1). The flow tolerance for standard servovalves is ±10% of the nominal rated flow at +100% input signal. Flow gain null is determined by the relationship of the spool and bushing metering edges and may vary with standard production talerances, flow gain in the region of ±5% rated current from null may range 50% to 200% of the nominal flow again. The null leakage comprises of both pilot stage flow (tare leakage) and the second stage null leakage.

DIRECT DRIVE VALVE (DDV) – SC 633 / SC 634

A direct Drive flow control proportional valve with a high force level perment magnet linear force motor directly driving the spool. A LVDT is attached to the spool to provide spool position feedback. An internal loop is closed around the spool position. This is one of the best DDV available in the world performancewise. You can directly replace the existing servovalve with this high performance DDV and get the same performance with added high resistence to contamination of oil. The unique feature of this valve is that “There is no null leakage” unlike other DDV’s thus reducing power loss at null operation.

  • Large static loads 0 up to 35.0 M Tonnes.
  • High screw speeds – 5000 rpm and above.
  • Up to 15 times longer life. Ideally suited for heavy duty steel mill applications.
  • Preloaded nut options for zero backlash.

This robust roller screw design is composed of roller that are manufactured with precisely the same thread angle as the nut. This construction is particularly well suited to applications that require very high loads and high speeds. This is possible because Servocontrols – Exlars planetary roller screw designs provide many more contact points than possible on comparably sized ball screws. This result in higher stiffness, higher load capacity and 15 times the travel life of similarly sized ball screws. The diagram on left shows number of contact points in ball screw as compared to the number of contact points in a roller screw.
