摘要： An HVAC actuator, such as a spring return actuator, may adjust the maximum output torque of the motor with the varying spring return force of the HVAC actuator as the HVAC actuator moves through its range of motion. In some cases, this may provide a more constant force at the output of the HVAC actuator and reduce the force that is applied through the motor, drive train and/or the HVAC component when an end stop is reached. Also, an HVAC actuator is disclosed that can be configured to discover and store the location of one or more end stop(s), and to slow the speed of the motor down before the end stop(s) is reached. This may reduce the force that is applied through the motor, drive train and/or the HVAC component when an end stop is reached.

摘要翻译： HVAC致动器（例如弹簧复位致动器）可以随着HVAC致动器在其运动范围内移动而随着HVAC致动器的变化的弹簧复位力而调节电动机的最大输出转矩。 在一些情况下，这可以在HVAC致动器的输出处提供更恒定的力，并且当达到端部止挡时减小通过马达，传动系和/或HVAC部件施加的力。 此外，公开了一种HVAC致动器，其可以被配置为发现和存储一个或多个终止挡块的位置，并且在到达终点停止之前降低电机的速度。 当达到终点停止时，这可以减少通过马达，传动系和/或HVAC部件施加的力。

摘要： The interfacing of a controller having an output with components (e.g., a triac) that require more current to successfully drive than the amount of current that is drawn by the circuit or controller which is being driven. The extra current drawn may be efficiently used, rather than wasted, for other circuitry such as a power supply for the electronics of the controllers or other devices. Also, another source may automatically come into place to provide current for the power supply or other circuitry when the driving controller becomes inactive.
