High-performance electromechanical direct-drive actuators for flight vehicles
Sergey Edward Lyshevski, Richard Colgren, Victor A. Skormin · 2001
This paper describes the development of high-performance affordable gearless electromechanical flight actuators (direct-drive servomotor with resolver power converter with integrated circuits) controlled in a nonlinear manner using microcontrollers or DSPs. Advanced actuation and control concepts reported allow one to guarantee the desired performance, reliability, and integrity. The resulting flight actuator performance is verified and documented in this paper.
