Electric actuators are rapidly transforming the automation industry by providing efficient, precise, and reliable motion control solutions. These devices convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, which is critical in a wide array of applications, from industrial machinery to robotics. In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of electric actuators, their advantages, and how companies like Heli Automation are leading the way in integrating force automation to deliver cutting-edge solutions for a variety of industries.
What is an Electric Actuator?
An electric actuator is a type of actuator that uses an electric motor to generate motion. Unlike pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, which rely on air pressure or fluid pressure, electric actuators rely on electric power, typically delivered via direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). These actuators are highly versatile, and their ability to provide accurate positioning, high force, and low maintenance makes them a preferred choice in many modern automation systems.
