Ewellix CASM-100 and LEMC Electromechanical Actuators with Built-In Wireless Sensors
Ewellix, formerly SKF Motion Technologies, has redesigned the CASM-100 and LEMC electromechanical actuators with built-in wireless sensors.
“Both types of actuators are available in multiple combinations covering a wide range of applications which makes them particularly popular with manufacturers and design engineers. Increased accuracy, flexibility, high performance, and reliability of these actuators all adds up to improved productivity and lower maintenance costs for our customers compared with traditional hydraulic systems,” said Damien Ehry, Global Business Support Manager at Ewellix, in the company’s press release about the sensors.
Features of the CASM-100 and LEMC actuators include :
- Integrated force sensors within the body provide precise measurement of the torque delivered from the motor through the internal ball or rollerscrew, even when the actuator is stationary
- Sensor acts as a temperature monitoring device that activates an alarm if the actuator is at risk of overheating
- Provides operational information in real-time, which can be communicated to higher level control systems
