Status of electrical actuator applications [PDF]

open access: yesIECEC 96. Proceedings of the 31st Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2002
An ever increasing number of actuation functions historically performed by hydraulics or pneumatics are being accomplished by electric actuation. If "end to end" systems are considered, electric actuators (EAs) are potentially lighter and more efficient.
