Linear actuators, motor actuators, and other specialized aircraft actuators perform essential functions across key aircraft systems, from engaging and retracting landing gear to managing flight control surfaces and regulating engine systems and valves. NMG has leveraged our years of aircraft manufacturing experience to become a leading supplier of aircraft actuator components, including hydraulic valves and air pressure regulator valves, that control essential functions from nose to tail. Our robust manufacturing, assembly, and testing capabilities support pressure applications up to 10,000 psi, allowing us to manage a wide range of aircraft actuator projects with precision and reliability.
Types of Actuators
Linear Actuators
The most common type of aircraft actuator, linear actuators are deployed across various aircraft systems to convert energy into motion. These actuators control key components and functions that vary in complexity, providing reliable performance in applications ranging from landing gear to flight control surfaces.
Hydraulic Actuators
Hydraulic actuators are powerful and durable, making them an excellent option for high-force applications. Hydraulic actuators use fluids, such as Skydrol and Red oil, to generate the necessary force and torque in high-pressure scenarios. Hydraulic valves maintain fluid control and system efficiency within a hydraulic actuator.
Solenoid Actuators
Solenoid actuators convert electrical energy into mechanical force, often to control the movement of doors, latches, switches, solenoid operated valves, and other aircraft mechanisms. Solenoid valve actuators provide reliability and efficiency even when operating in harsh conditions, making them a common choice for aerospace applications.
Common Applications of Aircraft Actuators
Aircraft actuators enable precise movement and adjustments of aircraft flight controls, landing gear, and other critical systems. This precision is crucial for maintaining stability, maneuverability, and safe operation of the aircraft. Additionally, air pressure regulator valves are often integrated within aircraft actuator systems to ensure optimal performance and pressure control, contributing to overall system reliability.
Flight Control Systems
Flight control surfaces depend on aircraft actuators to manage adjustments in the wings, rudders, and flaps. These systems require precise control to ensure smooth handling during various flight maneuvers. Linear actuators and motor actuators are essential components for maintaining stability and performance throughout flight.
Landing Gear Systems
Landing gear systems rely on robust hydraulic actuators to retract and deploy the gear during takeoff and landing. The high-force requirements of these operations demand the reliability and power of hydraulic valves and solenoid valve actuators, ensuring dependable performance under stress.
Engine Control Systems
Engine control systems utilize solenoid valve actuators and air pressure regulator valves to manage fuel and air intake with precision, optimizing engine performance. These aircraft actuators are essential for maintaining operational efficiency and preventing malfunctions by accurately regulating critical engine functions.
