0:00 What do you consider to be the main
0:01 advantages of electromechanical solutions
0:03 over pneumatic
0:05 or hydraulic systems?
0:06 The first major advantage is clearly the
0:08 electric drive unit.
0:11 This means that we
0:13 do not need any pressure oil, | compressed air or anything similar.
0:16 The second major advantage is simply the
0:18 positioning accuracy.
0:19 We can
0:22 move to the same position relatively
0:24 quickly and precisely for X repetitions.
0:26 And what's also very, very interesting
0:28 is simply the closed design.
0:31 All of this combined provides a
0:34 very good basis for
0:36 choosing electromechanics.

When it comes to precise and efficient motion sequences in machine and plant engineering, electromechanical systems are becoming increasingly important. ZIMM offers suitable solutions for applications where classic hydraulic or pneumatic systems reach their limits.

Why are more and more companies turning to electromechanical drive units?

A key advantage of electromechanical solutions is the electric drive – no pressurised oil or compressed air is required. This significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs and simplifies the system design.

What advantages do electromechanical systems offer over hydraulics and pneumatics?

  • High positioning accuracy
  • Repeatable position control
  • Low maintenance
  • Easy integration into existing control systems

In which applications are electromechanical drives particularly suitable?

Wherever precise movement, clean working environments and low-maintenance technology are required – for example, in machine and plant engineering, packaging technology or in testing and automation systems.
