The EMA is an electromechanical linear actuator with trip function.
It operates, for example, a valve that regulates the mass flow in a prime mover or a driven machine. Typical machines are gas turbines, steam turbines or compressors. The EMA provides you with highly dynamic and precise control of the mass flow.
This innovative linear actuator with fail-safe function has only electrical and mechanical interfaces. It is oil-free. This eliminates all costs for oil management that arise when operating a hydraulic linear actuator;
an 80% lower energy consumption reduces operating costs even more.
In addition, an oil-free actuator reduces the fire load of the entire system; insurance companies usually reward this with lower premiums. There is also nothing hindering the use of the actuator in places with strict environmental requirements.
With the EMA, you get an operationally safe and reliable plug-and-play solution having its own particular charm. The estimated mean time between failures (MTBF) of the Voith EMA is 35 years. As a result, your machine is very durable and you increase the productivity in your plant.
PS: Are you thinking about an oil-fee turbine? If you are, the EMA is certainly worth considering.
