Whois & Analysis for moog.com

Moog is an American-based designer and manufacturer of motion and fluid controls and control systems for applications in aerospace, defense, industrial and medical devices.

The company operates under four segments: aircraft controls, space and defense controls, industrial controls, and components.

Motion control is a sub-field of automation, encompassing the systems or sub-systems involved in moving parts of machines in a controlled manner.

The main components involved typically include a motion controller, an energy amplifier, and one or more prime movers or actuators.

Motion control may be open loop or closed loop.

In open loop systems, the controller sends a command through the amplifier to the prime mover or actuator, and does not know if the desired motion was actually achieved.

Typical systems include stepper motor or fan control.

For tighter control with more precision, a measuring device may be added to the system (usually near the end motion).

When the measurement is converted to a signal that is sent back to the controller, and the controller compensates for any error, it becomes a Closed loop System.

In control engineering a servomechanism, sometimes shortened to servo, is an automatic device that uses error-sensing negative feedback to correct the action of a mechanism.

It usually includes a built-in encoder or other position feedback mechanism to ensure the output is achieving the desired effect.

Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power.

Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, consumes no water, and uses little land.

The net effects on the environment are far less problematic than those of nonrenewable power sources.

A spacecraft is a vehicle, or machine designed to fly in outer space.

Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, earth observation, meteorology, navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo.
