Moog’s hybrid electric-hydraulic actuator offers efficiency and reliability
Moog (www.moog.com) presented a prototype hybrid electrohydrostatic actuator (EHA) that avoids the mechanical gearing and screws usually needed for purely electric actuators during the SPS/IPC/Drives show in Germany. The EHA, unlike conventional hydraulic actuators, needs no hydraulic piping, therefore improving reliability and cutting costs. The actuator uses Moog’s hydraulics and electrical expertise which are applied […]
