Linear Technology Industry
Robust electric actuators for military and defence applications with high reliability requirements.
Defence applications require linear actuators that work reliably and traceably under shock, temperature change and harsh conditions. S+R sizes electric actuators so robustness, protection class, documentation and spare-part supply fit together over long service periods.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
flaps, hatches and covers
positioning on equipment carriers
lifting and swivel axes
retrofit of long-running legacy equipment
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
high mechanical robustness
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
shock and vibration resistance
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
defined protection class
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
traceability and documentation
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
long-term spare-part supply
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
S+R solution route
Project requirements become a robust motion solution.
record load case, environment and interface
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
define robust design and protection class
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
match motor, spindle and sensors to the application
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
provide testing, documentation and spare-part strategy traceably
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
Technology building blocks
Proven design principles as a basis for individual solutions.
AP, SP and XP are not a rigid product logic; they are typical ways to build force line, installation space, protection and control.
Application images
Views of assemblies, installation space and real operating environments.
The images show typical tasks in this industry: installation space, interfaces, drive position, mounting and environment become visible directly at the component.
