The torque motor is a rotary brushless actuator with a non-contact position sensor and no gears. The torque motor can deliver peak torque values up to 1.5 Nm with a very short positioning time typically below 100 ms. Additional features such as a return-to-zero spring and drive electronics can be integrated in a very compact footprint.
travel angle: up to 75 °
response time: < 100 ms
sensor signal: 0.5 to 4.5 V
Typical market for torque motors is automotive engine controls: EGR valves, throttle bodies and turbochargers.
