Roller Screw Actuators for High Power-Density Applications

June 16, 2022
With a thorough understanding of the differing design considerations, roller screw-based electromechanical actuators can replace hydraulic cylinders in high power-density applications with opportunities for lower cost, footprint, and energy use.

Electromechanical (EM) actuators based on planetary roller screw technology can replace hydraulic cylinders in high power-density applications, providing greater load-profile flexibility; saving space, cost, or energy; and offering longer maintenance-free intervals in machine-tool, welding and riveting, and hard-to-access applications.
