When speed matters, finding a fast-acting electronic rotary actuator to meet your application requirements can be a challenge. Many actuators on the market operate within a 20-60 second range, which is often too slow for demanding applications where rapid response times are critical.
Why are many electric actuators slow?
The slower speed of most electric rotary actuators can be attributed to their design. Here are some key reasons:
- Gear Reduction Design: Many manufacturers incorporate gear reduction into their actuator designs, pairing it with the electric drive motor to achieve the required torque
- Cost Optimization: To lower costs, smaller electric motors are often used in combination with additional gear reduction. While this approach maintains the torque
range, it significantly reduces operating speed.
• Speed vs. Torque Tradeoff: In actuator systems, speed and torque are inversely correlated. Increasing torque through gear reduction results in slower operational speeds.
While these design choices make actuators more economical, they also limit their use in applications where speed is essential.
