Estos dispositivos son los encargados de ejecutar tareas en los sistemas del motor y en

los sistemas de seguridad activa y pasiva del vehículo.

Un actuador es un dispositivo inherentemente mecánico cuya función es proporcionar
fuerza para mover o “hacer actuar” otro dispositivo mecánico. La fuerza que ejerce el
actuador proviene de tres fuentes posibles: presión neumática, presión hidráulica y
fuerza motriz eléctrica (motor eléctrico o solenoide). Dependiendo del origen de la
fuerza el actuador se denomina “neumático”, “hidráulico” o “eléctrico”.

These devices are responsible for executing tasks in the engine systems
and in the active and passive safety systems of the vehicle. An actuator is
an inherently mechanical device whose function is to provide force to
move or "act" another mechanical device. The force exerted by the
actuator comes from three possible sources: pneumatic pressure,
hydraulic pressure and electric motive force (electric motor or solenoid).
Depending on the origin of the force the actuator is called "pneumatic",
"hydraulic" or "electric".

Electromagnetic It is any physical device capable of creating a zone of uniform

magnetic field. Electromagnetic actuators are based on the principle of magnetism,
which can be of natural origin, using a magnet or created by electricity (electromagnet
effect).

electromagnetic Among the best known examples are the relay, the injector and the
starter motor solenoid. The relay was designed to make it possible for high voltage
currents to circulate in a controlled manner, with a small control current. It has two
circuits, one for power where the battery current will flow to the consumer element, and
another control circuit, low consumption, which can be governed by weak currents from
any control unit.

In the same way is the fuel injector. This element consists of a valve body where the
coil is located and an injection needle kept in the resting position (closing the fuel
passage) by the action of a spring. When the coil receives current an electromagnetic
effect is generated and the needle is lifted from its seat allowing the passage of fuel
through the calibrated orifice.

Another element that works under the same principle is the "Solenoid" of the starter
motor. This element is responsible for coupling the pinion of the electric motor to the
ring gear of the steering wheel.

Heaters The heating actuators are the ones that produce heat thanks to the Joule effect.
This effect relates the current flowing through a resistance and the energy released in
the form of heat. The metallic wire is used as a heating element with a specific alloy
(chrome-nickel) which gives it a high coefficient of resistivity (high ohmic value) and
also has a high resistance to heat. They are also manufactured based on semiconductor
compounds arranged on a surface.

There are several examples of these heating actuators: the glow plugs in the diesel
engines are used to facilitate the cold start. They are self-regulating, fast heating and are
designed as PTC resistors (their resistance increases as the temperature increases). In
cold they present very low resistance, for what a lot of current flows and the normal
temperature of service is reached quickly, but once hot, its resistance increases limiting
and thus regulating the passage of the current.

In addition, there are other applications such as electric radiators for heating systems in
electric vehicles, heating resistances in the intake manifold and in the heated windows
(rear-view mirrors).
Electromotors Electromotors or electric motors base their operation on the principle that
electrical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy. For example, the fuel
pump has an armature that receives current through the brushes and rotates the rotor
where the rollers are located. These generate a centrifugal force that moves the brushes
to the outside and act as a rotating joint. The rollers create in the entrance of the fuel a
chamber whose volume increases, is filled with fuel and is displaced towards the exit
where the volume diminishes, reason why the fuel leaves this way pumped towards the
outside.

electromotoresOther applications of electromotor actuators are seen in the fuel doser in

TDI (Turbo Diesel Injection) systems, lift motor motors and windshield motors.

There are also motor motors step by step, which are constituted by a rotor of permanent
magnets and several coils that configure the stator. The rotor is inside an armature or
cage and is magnetized with the same number of poles that can be created by one of the
coils.

An example of this type is the idle stabilizer valve, which controls the minimum speed
by modifying an additional air passage to the throttle valve. An adjustment cone is
threaded to the rotor shaft, so that when the shaft rotates the cone moves. The cone is
inserted into the additional air passage so that according to the direction of rotation of
the motor the cone will close or open the air passage.

step to pass

Other applications of this type of actuators are the electric motors of the power steering
system and the automatic regulation of the ventilation ducts.
