Actuators are used for a range of applications within the aviation industry, such as controlling and limiting velocity and engine speed by adjusting levers and flaps. Actuators are devices that convert electrical signals to mechanical movement or other physical variables such as pressure and temperature. Electromate supplies maxon motors like those used in aircrafts and the aviation industry along with aircraft mechanical actuators.

maxon motors are a central component of each air cushion system. Each aircraft seat is integrated with a maxon motor – a brushless maxon EC45 flat motor – that drives the vane pump of the air cushion. By varying how much air fills the air chambers, passengers can easily switch between firm and soft settings. Electromate supplies EC45 flat motors from maxon motors like those used for air cushion systems in aircraft. ...

Research on Mars has advanced tremendously in the last 20+ years. Precision drives by maxon motors have made an important contribution in these advancements. In four missions by the US space authority NASA, products of the Swiss company have reached the surface of Mars. Data collected during these projects, in part thanks to maxon motors for Mars rovers, bring us closer to the goal of a manned mission to Mars. Additionally, the data gathered from these missions has allowed maxon motors to further improve their products here on Earth.

Electromate supplies maxon motors like those used within the Leica S Digital SLR camera system for sharp photographs. Contact us today to learn more! Digital SLR cameras can take extremely sharp photographs regardless of the level of skill of the photographer – whether hobbyist or professional. The technology inside these cameras plays a crucial role in the photo quality...

Part of the luxury and joy behind owning a convertible, is being able to drive the open road with the top down. The AIRCAP® system offered by Mercedes-Benz in their E-class convertible allows for a pleasurable experience when taking advantage of pristine weather conditions. The AIRCAP® is an automatic draft stop that can be activated at the push of a button. It greatly reduces interior turbulence and provides a more comfortable experience for drive and passenger alike. Inside this system is a maxon drive system for Aircap systems...

Product Family: Electric

Product Used: GSWA ServoWeld® Actuator

Product Type: Standard

Application Requirements

Force: 1000 to 3000 lbf (4448 to 13,445 N) 10,000,000 welds

Application Description: Resistance spot welding (RSW) chassis

Challenge:

An automotive plant was using a servo actuator with a reverse parallel style motor mount on their RSW chassis to perform spot welding. The actuator/chassis combination resulted in a large footprint and heavy overall weight. The customer wanted a lighter weight and smaller actuator/chassis combination.

Tolomatic Solution:

Tolomatic provided a GSWA44 ServoWeld® Actuator with an integrated servo motor, saving space with its smaller footprint and its lighter weight...
