New compact electromechanical actuator

Summary

An Italian Engineer has developed and patented an actuator that solves several unsolved problems in the field of linear actuators where fast or emergency performances are requested, thanks to the high configurability of the system in terms of force and speed. Some working prototypes have already been developed and companies in actuators sector are now sought for the industrialization through commercial, license or technology cooperation agreements or joint venture.

Description

The Italian development team, with experience in biomedical engineering and electromechanical actuators proposes an innovative electromechanical actuator, the process to make it and possible strategies to commercially spread the product on the global market. The actuator has been developed foreseen a wide range of configurability, in terms of force and speed, in order to fit with the requirements of the all the areas in which electromechanical actuators are currently used with significant savings in money.
The technology behind this project has an advanced stage of development with the realization of different prototypes overcoming various technological obstacles that arose to achieve the expected performance. The prototype of the innovative actuator that brings the most performing technological solutions and purely cylindrical, capable of almost doubling its length and sees an electric motor of about 300W equipped with a shaft output speed of 600rpm and a max torque of 50Nm which determines an excursion of the rod with a maximum thrust of 700Kg and an excursion of 80mm in less 0.1s.
Companies working in the actuators sector or in the related ones are sought in order to finalize the industrialization and commercialization of the electromechanical actuator, fitting the different needs of the market, through commercial or licensing agreements and technical cooperation. The collaboration could be finalized also with the creation of a joint venture.

Stage of Development

Available for demonstration

Requested Partner

The partner sought is a company strongly devoted to innovation, capable of drawing on mechanical and electronic technologies aimed at creating industrial and civil automation systems, with a solid managerial organization. The intention is to develop the system and market it together with the partner sought or by setting up a specific company for the development of the project or by becoming a member of the partner's team, possibly following certain results achieved. Licensing agreement for the patent is also an option as well as a possible joint venture.
