Abstract
This actuator comprises a cylinder comprising a rod provided with a piston defining first and second chambers, first and second fluid lines fluidly connected to the first chamber, a resilient return means configured to exert a force on the piston, the first fluid line comprising a calibrated port, the actuator comprising a servo-valve fluidly connected to the second fluid line, a cross-sectional area of the servo-valve being greater than or equal to ten times a cross-sectional area of the calibrated port or the head loss in the first fluid line being greater than or equal to ten times the head loss in the second fluid line.
Claims9
Turbine engine comprising an actuator comprising a cylinder comprising a rod provided with a piston defining at least partially within the cylinder a first chamber and a second chamber, the actuator comprising a first fluid line and a second fluid line both fluidly connected to the first chamber, a resilient return means in a predetermined position disposed in one of the first chamber or the second chamber and configured to exert a force on the piston, the first fluid line comprising a calibrated port, the actuator comprising a two-way servo-valve fluidly connected to the second fluid line, a cross-sectional area of the two-way servo-valve being greater than or equal to ten times a cross-sectional area of the calibrated port or a head loss in the first fluid line being greater than or equal to ten times a head loss in the second fluid line, the turbine engine comprising a first fluid source and a second fluid source, wherein an element chosen from among the first fluid line and the second fluid line is configured to receive a first fluid from the first fluid source, and wherein a remaining element chosen among the first fluid line and the second fluid line is configured to take a second fluid from the second fluid source, a pressure of the first fluid being greater than a pressure of the second fluid, wherein the first fluid source comprises a compressor of the turbine engine, the second fluid comprising air under atmospheric pressure.
