  • Patent number: 11143326
    Abstract: A fluid flow control valve includes a valve body, a closing member arranged in the valve body and configured so that it can have at least one first position, called the open position, in which it allows the flow of fluid to flow freely in the valve body, and at least one second position, called the closed position, in which it prevents the fluid flow from flowing in the valve body between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, an electric actuator of the closing member that is suitable for being able to control the position of the closing member in the valve body, characterized in that the electric actuator is arranged in the valve body so that it can be cooled by the flow of fluid flowing in the valve body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10897186
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque motor comprising a stator and a rotor that extend along a common central axis. The stator includes an integral magnetic body and at least one pair of radial teeth that extend along the central axis and define slots for receiving stator windings, and at least one permanent magnet supported by the integral magnetic body. The torque motor also includes a winding support for the stator windings that has a hollow body that extends along the central axis and that delimits a chamber for receiving the rotor, and cavities for receiving the stator windings. In this way, the stator windings are integrated in the stator by the winding support, fitted with the stator windings, being axially inserted into the integral magnetic body.
