A custom-designed limited-angle actuator for an electromechanical engine valve drive Part I: Conceptual design

Research has shown that variable valve timing (VVT) can improve significantly the performance of internal combustion (IC) engines, including higher fuel efficiencies, lower emissions, and larger torque outputs at each point of the engine map. To achieve independent and continuous VVT for each valve,...
