Control Valves for Forklift
Forklift Control Valve - Automatic control systems were primarily created more than two thousand years ago. The ancient water clock of Ktesibios in Alexandria Egypt dating to the third century B.C. is believed to be the very first feedback control equipment on record. This clock kept time by way of regulating the water level inside a vessel and the water flow from the vessel. A common style, this successful equipment was being made in the same fashion in Baghdad when the Mongols captured the city in 1258 A.D.
A variety of automatic machines throughout history, have been utilized in order to carry out particular tasks. A common desing used during the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe, was the automata. This machine was an example of "open-loop" control, comprising dancing figures that will repeat the same job repeatedly.
Feedback or "closed-loop" automatic control tools consist of the temperature regulator found on a furnace. This was developed during the year 1620 and accredited to Drebbel. Another example is the centrifugal fly ball governor developed in the year 1788 by James Watt and utilized for regulating steam engine speed.
The Maxwell electromagnetic field equations, discovered by J.C. Maxwell wrote a paper in 1868 "On Governors," which was able to explaining the exhibited by the fly ball governor. In order to explain the control system, he made use of differential equations. This paper exhibited the usefulness and importance of mathematical methods and models in relation to understanding complex phenomena. It likewise signaled the beginning of systems theory and mathematical control. Previous elements of control theory had appeared earlier by not as convincingly and as dramatically as in Maxwell's study.
New developments in mathematical techniques and new control theories made it possible to more precisely control more dynamic systems as opposed to the initial model fly ball governor. These updated techniques comprise various developments in optimal control during the 1950s and 1960s, followed by progress in stochastic, robust, adaptive and optimal control techniques during the 1970s and the 1980s.
New technology and applications of control methodology has helped make cleaner engines, with more efficient and cleaner processes helped make communication satellites and even traveling in space possible.
Originally, control engineering was performed as just a part of mechanical engineering. Control theories were firstly studied with electrical engineering as electrical circuits can simply be explained with control theory methods. Nowadays, control engineering has emerged as a unique practice.
The very first control relationships had a current output which was represented with a voltage control input. In view of the fact that the proper technology to be able to implement electrical control systems was unavailable at that moment, designers left with the alternative of slow responding mechanical systems and less efficient systems. The governor is a very efficient mechanical controller that is still often used by some hydro plants. In the long run, process control systems became accessible before modern power electronics. These process controls systems were usually utilized in industrial applications and were devised by mechanical engineers using hydraulic and pneumatic control devices, a lot of which are still being used nowadays.
