DIGITAL CONTROL MODULES FOR ACCELERATORS THROTTLE CONTROLLER

MP 2020
This unit is used to control our range of throttle

actuators in several operating modes:
a = Position
n = K : Constant Speed
M = K: Constant Speed
Depending on the mechanical unit, the following
performance are available:
Speed: 50 – 2600 mm/s
Force: 46 – 1500 N
Travel: 20 – 100 mm
Accuracy: > 0.2 %
The device is composed of these elements:
Control unit (MP 2002) :
It is a device equipped with a micro controller and own firmware. Its task is to communicate
with the supervision PC . This PC can be connected using a mixed digital/analogue interface.
This unit coordinates the operation of the power unit, manages the adjusting loops to enable speed or torque
controls of the units connected.
This units receives from the dyno and process the following data:
 Engine rpm
 Dyno Torque
 Throttle position
These information are available to the PC supervisor interface through proper analogue signals.

THROTTLE ACTUATORS
SAW
It is composed by a group of mechanical actuation and
includes a linear d.c. servo motor for optimum dynamic
performances. To allow a quick and easy calibration of
throttle actuator stroke, the mechanical unit includes two
pushbuttons which are used to increase and decrease
the throttle opening (from Idle to WOT and back). In this
way the operator can easily meet the appropriate travel
of the engine in few minutes.
The main characteristics of the mechanical unit are:
Max. force 170 N

Permanent force 46 N
Max. stroke 100 mm
Max. acceleration 268 m/s²
Max. speed 2.6 m/s
Positioning repeatability ± 0.1 mm
Linearity ± 0.4 %
SAR
Consists of a group of mechanics and implementation

includes a brushless AC servo rotary with excellent
dynamic performance .
The main characteristics of the mechanical unit are:
Pull-in torque 22 Nm
Continuous torque 9,1 Nm
Operational angle <=90° Toll. ±0,5°
Peak speed 0,3/90° sec (625 rpm)
Positioning accuracy ± 0,75 min di arco
Absolute accuracy 1/4096 rev.

ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC STARTING DEVICES
GAP
Electro-pneumatic starting devices
This optional unit can be installed, on request, on most

of our Eddy Current dynamomters.
It consists of an electric motor coupled to the brake

shaft and its electronic unit in order to start the engine
being tested.
