Abstract: An epicyclic gear train for a servomotor system includes a case, and, positioned in the case, a planet carrier carrying planet gears, a ring gear, and a sun gear. The epicyclic gear train includes a control for changing input and output speed ratio in response to an input applied from outside the case.

Abstract: A planetary gear set, for a servomotor system, and including rotary components mounted in at least one assembly configuration, within a case, and producing a speed ratio of the planetary gear set, which is determined by this assembly configuration, between an input member and an output member. The rotary components allow changes in assembly configuration. Each assembly configuration produces a specific predetermined speed ratio. The invention is usable for servomotor systems.

Abstract: A servomotor for an industrial valve includes a coupling to an industrial valve shaft, receives electrical power and an external command, and includes an electric motor, a kinematic chain connected to the motor to act on the valve, and a local command unit for commanding the motor and the kinematic chain in response to the external command. A protective housing of the local command unit and a connecting card close an open face of the housing. Metal lugs defining individual electrical contacts protrude from an inner side of the card, opposite from the open face. The servomotor includes an elastomeric material extending parallel to the connecting card and which is pierced for passage of the lugs, and positioned to ensure tightness between the connecting card and the housing at the open face of the housing. The invention also relates to an assembly for implementing a servomotor with a connector.

Abstract: A servomotor includes a motor unit generating movement of a mechanical component, a position-detecting unit detecting the position of the mechanical component, and a control unit manually controlling the mechanical component. The manual control unit is inside a main enclosure, the manual control unit is actuated by an actuator located outside the main enclosure, and the main enclosure is connected to the motor unit and to the position-detecting unit, The position-detecting unit and the motor unit are located inside first and second enclosures that are distinct from the main enclosure and are removably connected to the main enclosure. The manual control unit can be actuated when the first and second enclosures are separated from the main enclosure.

Abstract: A method for assessing sealing of a housing of a servomotor. The method includes lowering the pressure inside the housing, from an initial pressure to a set pressure, by fluid suction through an opening in the housing, the opening being normally sealed by a plug. When the pressure inside the housing is equal to the set pressure, pressure variation inside the housing, for a predetermined time interval, is determined. The fluid suction prevents any fluid exchange with the housing in a direction opposite a fluid suction direction. The sealing of the housing of the servomotor is assessed based on the pressure variation determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical sprung anti-backoff device, capable of fixedly immobilizing or releasing a manual control handwheel (4) and a motor acting on one and the same rotation shaft, comprising a cylindrical spring (7, 16), a cylinder (9, 17) mounted so as to rotate on the rotation shaft, the spring being able to rotate with the cylinder, turns of the spring being in contact with a surface of the cylinder and its ends being capable of coming into contact with the handwheel. The ends of the spring (7, 16) are curved inward or outward, the handwheel (4) may act on the curve of one or other of the ends of the spring (7, 16), and the rotation of the spring (7, 16) is limited by a stop acting against one or other of the ends of the spring. Application can be to manual control and motorized control valves, for example on fluid pipes.

Abstract: A device for connecting a servomotor to at least one electrical cable includes an external housing with at least one cable input, blocked by the cable in operation, and an opening closed by an electrical connection element and forming an interface with the servomotor. The electrical connection element includes a wall of an insulating material and elongate electrical contacts that extend through the wall in a direction substantially orthogonal to the wall, each electrical contact including an inner end inside the device for connection to an electrical cable, and outer end outside the device for being connecting to a corresponding electrical contact of the servomotor. The external housing includes an opening for draining fluid from inside the device in the operational configuration device, and the wall of the electrical connection element extends along a portion of the inner end of the electrical contacts.
