How energy-efficient are electromechanical actuators in continuous operation?

Electromechanical actuators are generally very energy-efficient because they have no continuous energy consumption in standby mode. Unlike hydraulic or pneumatic systems, which must be kept pressurized continuously, they only consume energy when motion is executed. <div class="brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id="youtube-content-blocker" data-borlabs-cookie-content="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"> You are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube .
