Unreferenced date October 2006 Orphan date October 2009 A variable force solenoid VFS is an electro hydraulic device that controls pressure proportionally or inversely proportionally to a signal voltage or current obtained from the on board controller of a powertrain . A low flow VFS is used as a signal level devices for transmission line pressure control or application of clutches. A high flow VFS controls line pressure directly or are used for direct shift clutch control. A VFS is a type of Transmission Solenoid . One or more VFS can be used in an automatic transmission or installed in an automatic transmission valve body Theory of operation A variable force solenoid includes Actuator shaft that is aligned with the central axis of the valve and solenoid A electrical conducting wire core A cylindrical core through which the wire is wound that causes an induced magnetic flux flow An actuator that actuates a shaft spaced by a non functional fixed air gap from the case and moves axially from the edge of the core Fixed Bearings at the opposite ends of the actuator shaft and compressed spring A valve spool that controls output flow and pressure In the steady state condition, the typical VFS design intent is to control pressure by balancing three axial forces A spring force due to spring compression by valve position A magnetic force primarily due to regulated current through the solenoid coil A pressure force due controlled flow areas and supply pressure, often called line pressure The VFS can be designed such that any of these forces act in either axial direction. If the magnetic force acts opposes the pressure force, then increasing current through the solenoid coil will, at steady state, cause an increase in VFS output pressure. This is commonly called a proportional VFS since controlled output pressure increases with controlled current. In the absence of current, this design ... can modify the resulting controlled pressure output from the VFS. These include friction due to hydraulic ... more details

Refimprove date October 2009 OS A virtual file system VFS or virtual filesystem switch is an abstraction layer on top of a more concrete file system . The purpose of a VFS is to allow client applications to access different types of concrete file systems in a uniform way. A VFS can, for example, be used to access Direct attached storage local and network storage devices transparently without the client application noticing the difference. It can be used to bridge the differences in Microsoft Windows Windows , Mac OS and Unix filesystems, so that applications can access files on local file systems of those types without having to know what type of file system they are accessing.
