A voltage stabilizer is a device that stabilizes the output voltage. It is composed of a voltage regulation circuit, a control circuit, and a servo motor. When the input voltage or load changes, the control circuit performs sampling, comparison and amplification. Then it drives the servo motor to rotate to change the position of the carbon brush of the voltage regulator. By automatically adjusting the coil turns ratio, the output voltage is kept stable. Today we will introduce the working principle of the voltage stabilizer, its function and its application. We hope that after reading this article, you will have a better understanding the functions of voltage regulators.

A screw feeder is a mechanism that uses a rotating screw blade, usually inside a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries. Screw conveyors in modern industry are often used horizontally or slightly inclined as an efficient way to convey semi-solid materials including food waste, wood chips, aggregates, grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat and bone meal, municipal solid waste, and Many others. Screw conveyors can move material horizontally inclined or vertically. They are used for feeding, dispensing, collecting or mixing, and can be equipped with heating or cooling when transferring using appropriate covers and gaskets, they are easily dust or weatherproof and rodent proof.

A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed. A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the "spoke" through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles; each layer is equivalent to one pole. Alternatively the rotation can be limited to a fraction (half; third etc.) of a circle and then each layer can have multiple (two; three etc.) poles.

An electric actuator is a drive device that provides linear or rotary motion. It uses certain driving energy and works under the action of a certain control signal. Actuators use liquid, gas, electricity, or other energy sources and convert them into drive-through motors, cylinders, or other devices. The basic types are Part-Turn, Multi-Turn, and Linear.
An electric actuator is also called a valve electric device, which is the name in different industries. In the industrial pipeline valve industry, it is called a valve electric device, and in the instrument industry, it is called an electric actuator.

The working process of the main circuit of the linear DC power supply is that the input power supply is initially AC stabilized by the pre-stabilizing circuit, and then converted into a DC power supply through the isolation and rectification of the main working transformer, and then under the intelligent control of the control circuit and the single-chip microprocessor controller. The linear adjustment element is finely adjusted to output a high-precision DC voltage source. The linear DC power supply products can be widely used in scientific research, colleges and universities, laboratories, industrial and mining
enterprises, electrolysis, electroplating, charging equipment, etc.

Foam cutting is a device for processing materials in the chemical industry such as foam and sponges. It mainly uses the high temperature of the laser machine for cutting because the thin cutting of the laser beam is not easy to deform, the incision is smooth, and there is no paste edge. The object can be rubber, glass, stainless steel, plastic, aluminum alloy, or metal.

A single-phase isolation transformer is a transformer whose primary winding is a single-phase winding. The primary winding and secondary winding of a single-phase transformer are wound on the iron core. The primary winding is the AC voltage input terminal, and the secondary winding is the AC voltage output terminal. The output voltage of the secondary winding is proportional to the number of turns of the coil. A single-phase transformer can convert high-voltage power supply into single-phase low-voltage for use in various equipment. For example, AC 6600V high voltage can be converted into AC 220V low-voltage through a single-phase transformer to supply power for lighting or other equipment. The single-phase transformer has a simple structure, With the advantages of small size and low loss, it is suitable for use in low-voltage distribution lines (below 60Hz) with less load.

Air compressor is a device used to compress gas. The air compressor is similar in construction to the water pump. Most air compressors are designed by reciprocating piston, rotary vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are very large applications. Next, we will introduce the structure of the air compressor. We hope that after reading this article, you will have a better understanding of air compressors.

Through beam photoelectric switch is composed of a light emitter and a light receiver, and the detection distance can be increased by separating the light emitter and the light receiver. Its detection distance can reach several meters or even tens of meters. When in use, the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device are respectively installed on both sides of the passing path of the detection object. When the detection object passes through, the light path is blocked, and the light-receiving device acts to output a switch control signal.

Relays are an electronic control device with a control system (that is, an input loop) and a controlled system (output loop), and are usually used in automated control circuits. The relay is actually an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control the operation of a large current. It plays the role of conversion circuit, automatic adjustment and safety protection in the circuit.

The transmitter is a device that converts physical measurement signals or ordinary electrical signals into standard electrical signals (4~20mA, 0~20mA, 1~5V, 0~ 10V, etc.) output or can be output by communication protocol (CANBUS, MODBUS, PROFIBUS, etc.) ATO offers high-performance current transmitters, level transmitters, voltage transmitters, temperature transmitters, load cell transmitters, pressure transmitters, temperature and humidity transmitters, and PH transmitters.

Blowers are equipment or devices which increase the velocity of air or gas when passed through equipped impellers. They are mainly used for flow of air/gas required for exhausting, aspirating, cooling, ventilating, conveying etc. Air blower machines are a simple and effective electrical device used in homes and industries to blow away dust from every nook and corner. For gadgets and electronics that have delicate parts that cannot be cleaned with a cloth, this is when you need air blowers to remove dust with its continuous air pressure. This durable and efficient machine saves a good amount of time and effort consumed in cleaning and dusting tasks.

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a device that automatically transfers a power supply from its primary source to a backup source when it senses a failure or outage in the primary source. When a failure occurs in a primary power system, the ATS invokes a standby power source, such as an uninterruptable power supply. An ATS can also start up more long-term backup power systems, such as local diesel generators, to run electric equipment until utility power is restored.

Shunt means parallel. In simple words, the capacitor is connected in parallel with a load or power supply is called shunt capacitor. The series and parallel combination of a no. of shunt capacitors is called shunt capacitor bank. So shunt capacitor is not a special device. It is a normal capacitor only, it is called a shunt capacitor because of its parallel connection with the load. Shunt capacitors are used in transmission lines, power systems, with inductive loads. So AC or non-polarized capacitors are used as shunt capacitors. For DC circuits or DC applications polarized capacitors are used.

Laser is a major invention of the 20th century, known as "the fastest knife", "the most accurate ruler" and "the brightest light". The word "laser" is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation", which describes the principles of how lasers are produced.

A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires rotation while transmitting power or signals.
