CLR Project: Customized actuator for an air flow control system

CLR also offers drive solutions in air conditioning sector. Discover our contribution in this innovative air flow control system.

An important company of the air conditioning sector contacts CLR in 2010 to design an actuator for the grilles of its air flow control system. They neededa more silent, lighter actuator which maintained the highest standards of quality for its air conditioning systems.

Challenge:

The main challenge in this project was designing a gear-based speed reducer system that was capable of limiting noise levels to the highest possible degree.

Another issue was weight. The client needed a lightweight solution that would offer the highest guarantees of safety, especially for tubular air conditioning systems.

High humidity was another issue to keep in mind in this project.

Lastly, the system had to be able to offer precise, two-directional motion for opening and closing the grille. Consequently, this customized gear motor had to pass major tests, since it was going to be subjected to a major mechanical wear.

Solution:

Our worm gear motor had the following characteristics:

Lightweight, low consumption

340º angular displacement

Connector designed for the Micro Quadlock Tyco system

Less noise. Thanks to this entirely customised design, CLR offered a grill actuating solution that was capable of directing and combining air flow with noise levels under 35 decibels.
