VALVES AND ACTUATORS

Our electro-magnetic valve and actuator technology is typically superior in performance and cost. We have standard components available and we also specialize in application engineering. We can work with you to provide a valve or actuator ideally matched to your needs or apply our experience and expertise to a full system to garner the maximum benefit of our technology for your product.

 
TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
  • High switching speed
    • Small size
    • Low mass
  • Small package
  • Low electrical power usage
    • Excellent heat dissipation
  • Stable low or zero energy states
  • Integrated positiAffordable

ELECTRONICS

At Sturman we have start-to-finish electronics capabilities. Our expertise includes hardware design, development and fabrication, as well as software development and implementation. Projects span the range from simple drivers for single valves to full Engine Control Units to drive both our fuel and air systems in vehicles.

Each electronics package is outfitted with customized software and a user interface for test, development, and/or operation. All of our electronics needs are fulfilled in-house, and electronics products are also available for external sales.
 
Ready for Market Solutions
Current Control Driver Board

A popular product for driving solenoids, fuel injectors, or any other device requiring a controlled current input. These boards take a logic level on/off signal as an input and drive current to the specified level on the output.

Specifications:

  • current levels
  • Pull-in and hold currents
  • Configurable control parameters
  • Degauss (reverse current) capable
  • 2 to 16 channel configurations
  • <1 to 40A current capable
  • 12 - 110V drive voltage
  • Various supply voltages (12-72V)
Sturman Calibration Editor (SCALE) Software
A flexible calibration product for interfacing embedded systems over RS-232 or Ethernet. Set up your device to communicate in the provided communication protocol, and then, edit variables, monitor device conditions, load and store current setup, monitor table interpolation, and much more. This stable and powerful interface takes the work out of the interface design allowing full concentration on the embbeded task at hand. This product is used by Sturman Industries on all internal products for control solutions.
