The Electromechanical Actuator (EMA) is an intelligent pilot control solution for small and medium-sized hydraulic power units with flow rates of up to 200 l/min. Particularly in tractors as well as in agricultural and small- to medium-sized construction and material handling machinery, the EMA controls the main spool valve with precision, dynamism, and high repeatability. At the same time, the actuator is CAN-compatible, diagnostic-ready, and designed for a long service life. Against the backdrop of the ongoing electrification of mobile machinery hydraulics, the EMA opens up new possibilities for more efficient, flexible, convenient, and sustainable pilot control. This white paper highlights the technical features and application potential of the EMA.
