Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and optionally piloted vehicles (OPVs) are designed with autonomous and remote control features. To function properly and safely, they must be made with the most reliable, precise components. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes can simplify design, reduce wear and maintenance, and improve reliability compared to traditional mechanical clutches and brakes. With better […]
Brakes and clutches with lifesaving capabilities and motion control systems are critical aircraft elements. They not only help pilots navigate smoothly during challenging weather conditions, but they also play a lifesaving role during mid-air emergencies. SEPAC products are developed with reliability at the forefront of design and, through a partnership with Genesys Aerosystems, have helped […]
In the past, pneumatic and hydraulic systems have been the most common actuator types for aircraft due to their high power density and cost-effectiveness. However, in recent years, attention has been focused on the limitations of these systems, including their level of performance, weight, high maintenance requirements, and more. Recent advances in electromagnetic actuator technology […]
Aerospace technology is in a constant state of evolution. From engines and fueling systems to electronics, navigational instruments, and exterior designs, aerospace manufacturers and operators are always working to make aerospace equipment more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective. Advances in aerospace actuation systems have been a key player in making aircraft faster, more maneuverable, and more […]
