Electric vs. Servohydraulic vs. Hydraulic Actuators
| Intelligence | |||
| Control of speed, positon and force can be critical in high-precision applications. |  |
Electric actuators meet management requirements for data collection and reporting. |  |
| Operations | |||
| Compared to servo-hydraulic and conventional hydrualic systems, electric actuator systems operate far more efficiently. |  |
 |
|
| Electric actuator systems are better at managing heat and are not susceptible to fluid thickening in cold temperatures. |  |
Electric systems present minimal environmental risk because they don’t leak fluid like hydraulic actuators can. |  |
