Elmo’s miniature servo drive tested successfully under extreme underwater pressure

January 24, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Elmo Motion Control (Elmo) now sells a unique solution for typical underwater applications such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which don’t always allow for a fully controlled pressurized vessel for the servo drive.

The ultra-small, already rugged by nature Gold Twitter servo drive was modified to match the needs of deep underwater applications, having to withstand high pressures up to 700atm.

Elmo’s vast experience in designing innovative and reliable servo drives for harsh environments was a key element in executing this customization. The new solution needed both R&D expertise in designing special components, as well as the know-how necessary for the implementation of a specialized production process. The modified G-TWI was tested and verified to operate without compromise at 700a (atmospheric pressure), equivalent to -7000 meters below sea level. Operation verification was executed at a dedicated facility lab used for testing high-pressure oil & gas technologies. For more information, click on this deep link to elmomc.com.


Elmo Motion Control – a leading manufacturer of advanced servo and motion technologies– has been offering intelligent, high power-density servo drives and motion controllers for more than 30 years. Elmo’s award-winning ultra-small drives and multi-axis controllers enhance overall machine precision, speed, and ensure fast, real-time responses for any application. Founded in 1988, the company is headquartered in Israel, employs more than 300 staff worldwide, and has a dedicated presence in the United States, China, Germany, Italy, Korea, Poland and the United Kingdom. For more information, visit www.elmomc.com.
