Q: WHY
CHOOSE ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ACTUATION?
A:
IT'S PRECISE, POWERFUL AND CLEAN.
Evolution
of Technology
All
industries are taking a critical look at the way they use
motion control systems in their equipment. Where hydraulics
once dominated, equipment is now increasingly utilizing
electro-mechanical actuators for a large number of tasks
for which they previously would not have been considered.
Electro-mechanical actuators provide more precise and reliable
motion, and integrate easily with modern PLCs and computers.
From a complete system perspective, they are smaller, lighter,
and cleaner than their hydraulic counterparts. Electro-mechanical
actuators:
- Increase
efficiency, therefore reducing costly energy consumption.
For battery-driven electric vehicles, this means increased
battery life.
- Eliminate
hydraulic hoses, valves and pumps.
- Have
support systems that take up less space, by replacing
fluid reservoirs and valve banks with compact electronic
drives.
- Eliminate
the hassle and cost of dealing with spent hydraulic oil.
- Remove
the functional reliability risk associated with hydraulic
fluid contamination.
- Eliminate
the safety and environmental issues of oil leaks.
