16 EMA Comparison EMA Challenges
• Gears, roller & ball screw actuators are complex & wear out – metal-to-metal wear • Shock / Side loading • EMAs require maintenance • Have a finite life • Require expensive load cells for force control • Require a brake to hold position • Can be back-driven & have backlash • Need to be preloaded for precision • Are large & very costly at higher loads (~>5,000lbf) • High IP ratings are difficult to achieve

20 HPU / Hydraulics Comparison Hydraulic Cylinder Challenges
• Pumps run continuously, are oversized, inefficient & are noisy • Pipes, hoses lead to environmental issues + maintenance & contamination issues • Requires significant floor space • Are sized to run a finite amount of cylinders • Difficult to upgrade / add – not flexible • Costly for coordinated motion & accurate control • Difficult fieldbus integration & diagnostics
22 Environmental Leaks – Challenges
• Numerous threaded seals (pipes, valves, • The screw pulls lubrication from inside to hoses etc) the outside pitching grease • Vibrating hoses & pipes moving & flexing • Leaks from the gear box (+ overfilling) • Continuously running pump – pushing • Require vents (contamination & leaks) fluid through the leaks onto the machine • Internal lubricant churning • Potential safety hazard – high pressures • Fill plugs wear (repeatedly removed) are throughout the system regardless of • Thrust forces (all directions) cause housing operation HPUs stress & leaks EMAs
SHA • No sealing via threads (no hoses) Solution • Self-contained unit – totally sealed, no vent • Power-on-Demand • No major metal-metal wear • No maintenance – no fill ports to wear out or cross thread
23 HPU – Efficiency Costs
30%+ losses = 1,714 𝑄𝑄 ∗ 𝑃𝑃 ℎ𝑝𝑝 Q = flow (GPM)∗ 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 P = pressure (psi) Motor / Pump Sizing considerations: Em = pump mech eff - Pressure drops / length of hoses - Connectors 90deg bends etc - Valve loses - Flow loses
• Many times, the motors are sized to run continuously at ~1.2x – 1.5x required loads • 2½ times for internal combustion engines • 30% - 40% Efficiency Savings using the SHA comparing only the HP used • Continuously running motor costs about $800/yr/HP (assuming 0.10$/kWh) • E.g. for a 10HP requirement, • Size a single HPU 15HP motor, the costs to continuously run: ~$12,000 per year • SHA – 10HP, 30% duty cycle costs are ~$2,400 per year (~80% savings)
24 SHA Advantages vs. Hydraulics
• No hoses – No threaded connections – No leaks • Power-on-Demand – Very Efficient • Lower cost of ownership • Quieter (does not run continuously) • Takes up less floor space • Minimal maintenance • Most reliable actuation solution available today • Versatile configurations • Accurate control • Fieldbus connectivity • Simple to upgrade (add cylinders)
