Frequently asked questions
An electromechanical actuator is a motion control device that converts electrical energy into precise mechanical movement. It typically consists of an electric motor (AC, DC, Brushless DC or servomotor), a mechanical transmission system such as a screw drive, and optional feedback elements for position control. These actuators are known for their accuracy, repeatability, and long service life. They are widely used in applications requiring controlled linear motion, such as industrial automation, robotics, and mobile equipment, especially where integration with electronic control systems is important.
Hydraulic actuators utilize pressurized fluid for motion, excelling in high-force applications and demanding environments. However, they come with significant drawbacks: complex infrastructure, frequent maintenance needs, fluid leakage risks, and most notably, poor energy efficiency. They constantly consume power to maintain fluid pressure, even when idle, leading to substantial energy waste. In contrast, electromechanical actuators convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, typically via electric motors driving ball or roller screws. They offer superior energy efficiency by consuming power only on demand—when actively moving or holding a load—eliminating the continuous energy drain of hydraulic systems. This translates to significantly lower operating costs and a reduced carbon footprint. Beyond efficiency, they also provide higher positioning accuracy, cleaner operation, and seamless integration with digital control systems. Consequently, electromechanical actuators are increasingly replacing hydraulic systems in automation and mobile machinery due to their overall performance advantages.
A modular actuator is an actuator system designed with interchangeable and configurable components, allowing for tailored solutions without the need for full custom engineering. Key elements such as screw types, gearbox orientation (inline or parallel), motor type, and mounting interfaces can be selected independently to match specific space constraints, load requirements, and control preferences. This modularity offers flexibility, simplifies system integration, reduces engineering time, and enables easy future upgrades or reconfigurations using standard components.
