Drive technology

Selection factors

Mechanics under harsh conditions

Just as electromechanical actuators and other mechanical drive components are becoming increasingly suitable for applications with high loads, their ability to withstand harsh conditions is also increasing. Extreme temperatures, high particle loads, high-pressure cleaning, vibrations and shocks, radiation and electromagnetic interference are among the threats to reliable drives today.
