What converts electrical signals to mechanical energy?

• A. Powertrol Valve
• B. Master SOPV
• C. Hycheck
• D. Station control

Answer: (B)

The key idea is the electro-hydraulic interface that turns an electrical command into motion. The Master SOPV is driven by electrical signals; energizing its solenoid moves a pilot valve, which then modulates the main hydraulic valve to control pressure and flow to the actuator. The actuator uses that hydraulic energy to produce mechanical motion, so this component is the bridge that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Powertrol valves are part of hydraulic control but don’t directly translate electrical commands into motion the way the Master SOPV does. Hycheck is just a check valve, not an electrical-to-mechanical converter. Station control is a control point, not the device that drives the actuation.
