ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic gear motor application in which a tank filled to a predetermined pressure with an inert gas such as nitrogen is heated by a heat squib device to raise the temperature of the gas and also to increase the pressure of the gas in the storage tank and be supplied through a first frangible valve to a pressure regulator for regulating an outlet pressure to a servo valve for controlling flow to and from a pneumatic motor. The pneumatic motor drives through a reduction gear mechanism that drives a worm and worm gear to actuate a control fin of a missile. The missile has four drive motors and four control fins to provide guidance for the missile.
