PitchBook profile preview
The company produces proprietary motion-control subsystems for the aerospace industry. Its electromechanical actuators incorporate control electronics, motors, high-power mechanical transmissions and actuators. Its electric actuation system uses electrical power instead of messier fluids for operation and is designed to integrate with up-and-coming robotics and Industry 4.0 technologies.
Electric actuators require little maintenance and provide quiet, clean, and repeatable movement compared to hydraulic options that need frequent replacement of valves, hoses, pumps, and other air treatment elements. However, they are not suitable for all environments and have a higher failure rate than pneumatic systems.
