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.
