Electric Motor Pressure Relief Plate

摘要

A relief plate (116) is provided for coupling a housing of an electromechanical actuator assembly (138) to a valve housing of a valve assembly (118). The relief plate (116) includes a first side (142), a second side (144), an opening (140), an annular collection channel (152), and a plurality of grooves (154). The first side (142) is configured to couple to the actuator housing (138). The second side (144) is configured to couple to the valve housing (118). The opening (140) extends between the first and the second sides (142, 144). The annular collection channel (152) is formed in the second side (144) concentric to and in communication with the opening (140). The plurality of grooves (154) is formed in the second side (144) in communication with and extending radially outwardly from the channel (152). The grooves (154) are configured to direct liquid radially outwardly, and at least one groove (154) has a portion thereof configured to prevent the liquid from traveling radially inwardly.
