Abstract: A magnetically operated valve includes a combined valve body and bobbin that includes a bobbin portion that supports a magnet wire coil and a valve body portion that houses a pole and an armature. The armature is moveable under magnetic forces to operate a valve operator to control the fluid flow through the valve. The valve includes a flux bracket having a first end that is positioned in close contact with the pole and a second end that is passed through the valve body portion of the combined valve body and bobbin to position the second end in proximity to the armature. The flux bracket is formed as a single piece of material, such as a single piece of stamped or otherwise formed soft iron. The valve operator may be configured as a rocker with a fluid isolating diaphragm, and the valve may have a three-way or a two-way valve configuration.

Abstract: A valve for regulating the flow of ferromagnetic peening materials, consisting of an arrangement of pole pieces, spacers, permanent magnets, and electrical coils. This arrangement uses an angular magnetic field to concentrate holding strength within the working gaps without sacrificing holding strength to the environment, increasing the valve's efficiency. Additionally, this valve covers a large range of flow rates by exchanging center bars and magnets of different sizes, without otherwise increasing the size of the valve.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically actuating preexisting water shut-off valves upon detection of leak conditions. A coupling of a valve actuator is connected to a handle of the valve, such that a motor of the valve actuator causes the selective opening and closing of the valve. A controller obtains water flow data from a non-intrusive flow sensor (e.g., an ultrasonic sensor) clamped onto a pipe attached to the valve in close proximity thereto, as well as obtaining additional sensor data from remote sensors disposed elsewhere in the water supply system (e.g., pressure levels measured by an in-line pressure sensor). When the controller determines a leak condition exists based upon the water flow data and the additional sensor data, it controls the actuator to close the valve. The controller may also test for leaks by periodically shutting the valve and measuring the pressure while the valve is shut.

The actuator may include: a housing; an electric motor disposed in the housing; a downstream reduction gear; and a positioning element with an actuator connection for the flap or the valve. There is an electromagnet adjacent to an outer side of the rotor with a coil arrangement with a magnetic core. There is an electrical circuit arrangement for activating the electromagnet, providing a first brief current pulse, so a remanent magnetic field remains in the coil core. In a holding position of the actuator, while a mechanical pre-tensioning is set up, there is a holding torque with contact to the outer side of the rotor. The circuit arrangement provides a second brief current pulse to extinguish the remanent magnetic field still present in the coil core for releasing the holding torque with contact, forming an air gap between the electromagnet and the outer side of the rotor.

Abstract: An adapter connects to a mechanical interface of valve on one side of the adapter and connects to an actuator mechanical interface of a valve actuator on another side of the adapter. A transmission element in the housing of the adapter transmits an actuator force developed by the valve actuator to the valve via the valve mechanical interface. The valve mechanical interface on the adapter fluidically seals to a leaking portion of the valve. Consequently, in a system in which a valve is leaking, rather than replacing or repairing the valve, the adapter may simply be interposed between the valve and the valve actuator.
