Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Unmatched Precision and Performance: The MOOG D136-001-008 is distinguished by its exceptional metering characteristics, achieved through a precision-built servovalve and a high-response pilot stage. This design ensures minimal deadband, extremely low hysteresis, and outstanding linearity, typically better than ±0.5% of full scale. These characteristics translate into precise control over position, velocity, and force, which is critical for applications like material testing, metal forming, and simulation. The integrated, high-resolution LVDT provides real-time, accurate position feedback to the controller, enabling tight closed-loop control and ensuring the actuator consistently meets its target position despite varying load conditions.

Robust and Durable Construction: Engineered for longevity in challenging environments, the MOOG D136-001-008 features a heavy-duty, forged steel body and hard-chrome plated piston rod that resist wear and corrosion. Aerospace-grade seals and advanced bearing materials are employed to ensure leak-free operation and long service life, even under continuous cycling and high side-load conditions. The actuator’s design is optimized to handle the high stresses associated with 3000 psi operating pressures, providing reliable performance where other actuators would fail. This ruggedness directly correlates to reduced maintenance intervals, lower total cost of ownership, and maximized system uptime.

Proven Design and Seamless Integration: As part of a mature and proven product family, the MOOG D136-001-008 benefits from a design refined over decades of field application. It features standard mounting interfaces and port sizes, simplifying mechanical installation and integration into existing machinery. Its standard ±10 VDC command signal and analog LVDT output make it compatible with a vast array of industrial servo controllers from Moog and other manufacturers. This ease of integration, combined with comprehensive documentation and global technical support, significantly reduces engineering time and risk during system design and commissioning, ensuring a faster and more reliable deployment.

Application Field

The MOOG D136-001-008 is deployed in high-performance industrial applications where its combination of high force and precision is critical. A primary application is in material and component testing systems, where it is used in fatigue testers and structural test frames to apply precise, cyclical loads for validating the durability of aerospace components, automotive parts, and civil structures. In metal processing, it is integral to the control of rolling mills, providing precise gap control between rolls to achieve exact material thickness and finish quality.

Another significant application is in simulation, where the MOOG D136-001-008 provides the motion for flight simulators, earthquake simulators, and driving simulators, creating highly realistic and responsive motion cues. In the energy sector, it is used for critical control functions in valve actuation for water turbines, steam turbine control, and in oil & gas production equipment. The reliability and power of the MOOG D136-001-008 also make it suitable for heavy-duty industrial machinery such as injection molding machines, where it provides the high clamping force and precise velocity control required for manufacturing high-quality parts.
