Marine Actuation
Permanent Magnet Electromechanical Actuators
Honeywell’s marine electromechanical actuators provide long-life operation for shipboard control of valves performing utility functions in applications requiring up to 50 feet submergence. Unlike traditional systems, these actuators do not require the complex hydraulic or pneumatic infrastructures to operate and eliminates the ongoing issue of hydraulic leaks. Our permanent magnet systems are substantially more resistant to salt water and other contaminants found in harsh marine environments than other electric motors. Additionally, our systems do not suffer from field circuit losses, enabling higher efficiency and high power requirements in a smaller package.
Electromechanical Actuation for Munitions Handling
This Honeywell system consists of 48 linear electromechanical actuators. Low acoustic levels are achieved by using three-phase sinusoidal current using space vector modulating algorithms.
