Fall of 07, TDS receives a grant from Illinois Technology
Development Alliance. The grant (approved by the Navy) is to
develop a DC motor capable of performing in temperature ranges from -65°F to
550°F. This is the second of series of
steps being taken by TDS to develop a high temperature electro-mechanical
actuator that can be used in engine environments. ·
Winter of 07, TDS receives a SBIR Phase I award from NAVAIR
(topic #N07-179).
Abstract:
Turnkey Design Services, LLC of Blue Island, IL proposes to
replace an existing high temperature electro-hydraulic actuator on the F-35
Joint Strike Fighter with a smart electro-mechanical actuator.
With the advancement of electronics over the last several years,
aircraft system integrators have been replacing electro-hydraulic actuation
systems with electro-mechanical actuation systems. Electro-mechanical actuators are now being
used to control flaps, open weapon, refueling and cargo bay doors and deploy
landing gear (fly-by-wire concept).
They are being used in every area on the aircraft where temperature
permits, however, due to motor and electronic component material limitations
the temperature environment is limited.
The proposed electro-mechanical smart actuator utilizes several
technologies specific to high temperature applications above 200 deg C. The
proposed motor is a high temperature Switched Reluctance Motor with high
temperature windings. The electronics utilize silicon on insulator (SOI) and silicon carbide (SiC)
technology to provide integrated motor controls and system health monitoring
capability without active cooling. ·
Spring of 08, TDS receives a grant from Illinois Department of
Commerce & Economic Opportunity.
The grant is to help supplement the cost of SBIR Phase I activities. ·
Summer of 08, TDS receives a SBIR Phase I award from Air Force
(topic #OSD08-UM4).
Abstract:
Turnkey Design Services, LLC of Blue Island, IL proposes to
create a small lightweight smart fuel pump for unmanned vehicles using a
small very efficient brushless motor with integrated controls and an
internally-generated rotor pump. The overall size of the motor driven pump
including electronics is about 2.5 long x 1
diameter. The proposed pump provides flow metering capability by adjusting
the motor speed.
The proposed motor uses high energy density rare earth magnets
and specially designed windings to create the best efficiency for the required
operating range of the pump. The controller is sensor less in order to
eliminate the need for hall effects which take a
significant amount of space.
The smart pump is capable of monitoring and transmitting its
current health status, as well as monitoring sensors for use in its internal
control algorithms. The smart pump
would be able to determine its rotary position, drive the pump to the
commanded rotary speed (or flow), while managing its
speed within a certain tolerance.
