there is definitely a heat load. and yes, there is inert gas flowing through the rf generator and into the chamber. therefore the plate in the chamber is exposed to the plasma and thus being heated.
the assembly is in vacuum. there is an inert gas flowing through the generator and onto the plate. when its a 3kw generator, would it also be a 3kw heat load onto the plate?
i have an aluminum plate facing a 3kw plasma source. how can i translate that 3kw plasma source into some sort of heat flux/load so that i can do a thermal model of the plate?
I see. So by putting the small ball in line with the rod axis, it will in fact soak up most of the side moment caused by the weight of the linkage. Is that correct?
Let me see if I understand this correctly and please correct me if I'm wrong. Do you mean that the ball bearings should be designed into the housing of the actuator instead of using the OEM bushing design? In that case, I would totally agree that the starting friction would be minimized...
One more question: is this phenomenon typical in pneumatic driven actuators? Is this why the use of electrical motorized actuators are more precise and reliable?
Thanks for the insite israelkk. In fact, the actuator does have a side load in the application. It is located on one end of a cantilever type linkage which would naturally give it a side load upon actuation. The linkage itself is around 5 lbs and the length is around 10 in. Do you think that...
it is a linear actuator from Senior Aerospace, specifically called PrimeMover. i think you can find their specs on their website. when i say jerky, the linkage shakes a bit when the actuator starts up. the linkage works smoothly on its own and so does the actuator. however, when i put it...
i'm using a pneumatic actuator to run a basic 4 bar linkage. the system works but the motion is quite jerky. what seems to be the problem? any ideas in what to look for in troubleshooting?
