Moog Controls started life in the UK in October 1965 as Moog Hydra-Point, based in Cheltenham, England. This new subsidiary was set up to manufacture and market the Moog Hydra-Point machines in the UK, South Africa and European common market.Nearly 40 years later, not only does MCL manufacture a suite of products for motion control applications, they are also active in the design and development of new and innovative solutions for precision control problems. Our team of highly skilled engineers can provide project support to assist our customers in the performance of a wide variety of applications including, motion simulators for training and entertainment, industrial gas turbine controls, plastics machinery controls, heavy industry, metal forming & pressing, and commercial and military ground vehicle controls. All Moog subsidiaries are represented by regional sales engineers backed by comprehensive product and engineering support teams. Add to this the global presence of Moog and you are ensured a competent partner to deliver and service you and your customers needs. MCL employs over 270 people on its Tewkesbury site, accommodated in 3 buildings, producing over 21,500 servovalves per annum. |

Moog has developed a unique “pitch control valve” that uses the latest digital technology for position control for wind turbines for MADE Tecnologías Renovables S.A. This intelligent servovalve has been enhanced with digital communication and embedded motion control capabilities that enables it to close the position loop within the valve. This axis control functionality is a revolutionary development. It enables performance, reliability, remote diagnostics, and process control in one device, which is functionality that could never be achieved with conventional valve technology. The intelligence embedded in this device also enabled the customer to eliminate the cost and complexity of the external controller. |

Low noise, greater reliability, easy control options are demands on modern piston pumps. To lower both the noise emission and the high and low-pressure pulsation, the number of pistons of a radial piston pump is increased from 7 to 9. By means of CFD and FE calculation the suction path of the RKP is optimized as a compromise between hydraulic (low pressure drop, small inductivity) and mechanic (small deformation, low stresses) functionality. Pressure drop along the suction path was reduced by 20%. The sound emission of the new radial piston pump generation was reduced by up to 5dB(A) in sound power that corresponds to a reduction of wide more than 50%. A new stroke ring design eliminates a possible place of wear. The DCP (Digital Interface Pump) is a new servo radial piston pump adjustment based on a new pilot valve with digital onboard electronics offering an enhanced functionality. |
