What is a wax engine?
Waxing engine is a cheap type of linear driver that is designed to push the piston and cause it to move. It is also called wax capsules and is used in many devices where a short range of movement is required. Wax motors can be found in devices such as dishwashers and older washing machine models. They were previously used to lock the door in the washing machines before the spin activated. Quite economic compared to magnetic solenoids, wax motors are used for operation or thermal control valves and driving valves in heating mechanisms. It works in a very simple way - the electric heater warms the wax block when it is activated. This causes the wax to heat up, which pulls out the piston. When the current is removed, the wax is cooled and tightened and the piston in the process is downloaded. Heating or cooling of wax, therefore causes the piston to be released or downloaded.
Sometimes a counter -cut spring is incorporated into the engine, or the spring is applied from the external sources to push the piston back into the housing. Waxing Motor NevoskuIt lines almost no maintenance and offers many advantages over magnetic solenoids used for the same purpose. They use magnetic solenoids to create a magnetic field of wire coil.
This field is used to push out or pull it out. In some cases, the wax engine is preferred before magnetic solenoid because it has a much softer and smoother operation. Compared to solenoid, it is slower to act and return and as a result is less noisy operation. Wax motors also use resistive loads and those that are controlled by triacs do not need ennomile circuits.
It is also easy to check that they are a functional measurement of resistance; It is easy to see a short or open perimeter. As long as the resistance between the two terminals falls within a certain range, the device is functional. One of the biggest advantages that this engine has over solenoid is that is less naverylný to fail. The wax engine survives in situations where the font is blocked and cannot travel all the way.
On the other hand, it can burn solenoid in the same situation. Solenoids are also expensive compared to wax motors because they contain steel and copper wire. The engine also weighs less than magnetic solenoid and is quieter; Solenoids usually produce clicks on sounds. However, speed is the advantage of solenoids and only need milliseconds for operation, unlike wax engines. It may take more than half a minute to push the plunger into the wax engine.
