whiskers Explanation: I think it may be referring to valves with whiskers (whisker valves) that gauge and regulate flows. See here http://www.fluidpowerservices.co.uk/shop/pneumatic-and-vacuu... https://www.design-engineering.com/products/sensor-valve/ https://www.turtle.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/Festo_4936_... The second reference states "The actuation sensitivity may be increased by adding a 3mm diameter “whisker rod” to the pre-drilled hole at the end of the lever." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2020-10-29 10:48:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- mechanically-operated sensor valve (i.e. whisker valve), which can function as a limit switch in applications where very low actuation forces and high-flow rates are required. |
