The electromechanical actuator produces a linear movement as soon as electrical energy is supplied. For this, the system structure comprises a drive, a mechanical drive with a spindle, as well as a housing and a guide. No additional add-on parts are required.
Which components make up an electromechanical actuator?
The electromechanical actuator consists of:
- a drive or a motor selected by the customer
- a mechanical drive in the form of a worm gearbox that works together with a spindle
- a housing
- a guide
Which motor is used in the actuator?
The drive or the motor is selected by the customer. The following are possible:
- a three-phase motor
- a servo motor
Which spindle is used?
The worm gearbox works together with a spindle. Depending on the customer’s application, it makes sense to use either a trapezoidal screw or a ball screw.
What function do the housing and the guide perform?
The housing protects the components from external influences. The guide stabilizes the entire system.
Which additional add-on parts are required for the actuator?
The actuator requires no additional add-on parts such as:
- guides
- hoses
- hydraulic power units
How is the linear movement produced?
The actuator operates when electrical energy is supplied. This produces a linear movement.
