Actuators to have condition monitoring to promote increased safety and good servicing practice

1st February, 2006

Actuators like most other electro mechanical devices have a defined life expectancy under optimal conditions. However the varied application uses result in many different operating environments, load conditions and frequency of use, all of which are hard to define or control once in service. Linear actuators by design have many moving parts, all of which can wear in time. As wear accumulates the actuator may approach a point where the original load bearing specification cannot be maintained. At this point the actuator should then either be refurbished at the factory, if indeed that is an option, or replaced, as part of a routine service of the final equipment. Up until now there has been little to help the end user to evaluate when to service or change the actuator. External wear patterns may give some clues, but will not necessarily reveal the complete operating history of the actuator.

EMS celebrates 20 years

1st September, 2005

1st of September 1985 saw a new company start trading in the small drives market named Electro Mechanical Systems Limited, EMS for short. The concept was to provide electromechanical systems and not just components to the UK small drives market. The range of products to be sold would be limited to a maximum power of about 250 watts. The foundation of the company owes much to the support of Minimotor SA of Switzerland, who appointed EMS as their sole UK agent to sell their range of precision ironless DC motors, gearheads and encoders.
