Hydraulic systems vs. electric actuators: simplify your machine design

Challenges of hydraulic systems Component overload: The need for multiple hydraulic cylinders adds further layers of complexity and risk. Space Constraints: Hydraulic systems consume valuable space, making them unsuitable for compact, modern systems. Noise: Even at peak performance, the...

Integrating electric actuators for enhanced industrial automation

Key benefits of electric actuators Precision and control: Electric actuators offer accurate positioning, making them perfect for tasks that require fine control. Energy efficiency: They use less energy compared to hydraulic systems, helping to lower operational costs. Cleaner and safer...

Motion control in defence applications

Understanding motion control systems Motion control is used to drive the movement of various systems, from radar tracking and weapons aiming to robotic arms and unmanned vehicles. Key components include actuators, motors, encoders and controllers, which work together to deliver accurate and...

Motion control solutions for food waste processing applications

Food waste management Food waste management refers to the process of reducing, recovering, and recycling food waste. A combination of approaches are employed, ranging from reducing overproduction and improving inventory management, to donation and redistribution of surplus food that is still...

New generation high-torque frameless servo motors are lighter and more compact: Kollmorgen’s new TBM™2G series available from Heason Technology

The TBM2G series features outer frame diameters from 50 to 115 mm with large through-holes that can generously accommodate encoders, cabling, and other services. Through each frame size, the compact length of the frameless assembly allow maximum envelope space for encoders/resolvers, gear units...

A day in the food industry

  Ingredient mixing and filling In this scenario, we are in a production facility that makes canned soups. This involves accurate filling dosages into cans as well as mixing and agitating ingredients to strict recipes. As an example here, mixing paddles need to be lowered into the mixing...
