Parker Hannifin is a Fortune 250 company in motion and control technologies with groups encompassing nearly 70 divisions worldwide, and serving the broadest array of industries including aerospace, and energy.
Parker created a hybrid actuator, which has 3 levels of operation, simple on/off control, speed and direction control for use in valve actuation, and lastly bus/network units that will simply plug into customers’ networks.
The actuator combines the controllability of electromechanical actuators with the power density, longer life and resistive force capabilities of traditional hydraulic systems. The resulting hybrid offers robust, long-life tracking solutions for solar power and actuation systems for wind, hydro and other renewable energy systems, as well as fossil fuel applications.
