Greater efficiency starts with the right decision.
Discover how electric actuators make systems more productive, smarter, and more energy-efficient—with less system complexity, precise control, and greater process control.
More than just a technological change. A system advantage.
Modernization is about more than just replacing a drive. It’s about optimizing processes, reducing system complexity, and integrating technology into existing plants in a way that ensures they operate economically today—and remain future-proof tomorrow. This is exactly where electric actuators really shine: They are compact in design, economical to run and designed for integration into digitally networked automation environments.
When pneumatics reaches its limits.
Electric actuators convert energy directly into motion—without a compressor, compressed air network, or additional conversion steps. This reduces energy losses, lowers operating costs, and simplifies the entire application: from installation to ongoing operation. The result: less downtime, more precise control and a more cost-effective process.
Pneumatic systems require compressed air—and thus an additional conversion step. The air is compressed, distributed, and maintained within the system. This results in energy losses, such as those caused by the compressor’s efficiency, long pipeline runs, and leaks. Electric actuators, on the other hand, convert electrical energy directly into mechanical motion, thereby eliminating the system-related losses that occur during the distribution of compressed air.
Losses due to the compressor and compressed air system
Direct energy conversion and high efficiency
More Complex Positioning and Control
Precise movements and controlled positioning
Regular leak testing and maintenance
Low-maintenance to maintenance-free
Additional infrastructure and space requirements
Compact and quick to integrate via Plug & Play
Consistently fluctuating, high costs
Predictably low costs over the life cycle
When Drive Technology Becomes Process Intelligence.
Electric drives not only provide precise motion but also deliver actionable information. Feedback on position, status, and errors makes maintenance tasks more predictable, helps detect deviations early on, and increases operational safety. At the same time, they can be easily integrated into digital production environments—all the way up to smart factory and IIoT applications. This transforms drive technology into an intelligent, networked, and precisely controllable process.
Integrate faster. Reduce downtime.
It’s not just a matter of what needs to be replaced or improved. What matters is how quickly this can be turned into a cost-effective, integrable, and future-proof solution. Electric actuators stand out thanks to their compact design, simple system architecture, and quick integration into existing systems. This reduces the effort required for installation and retrofitting, shortens downtime, and enables more precise control of system conditions and motion sequences—with clear advantages throughout the entire lifecycle.
