Innovative Advancements in Electromechanical Actuators by Volz Servos

Volz Servos, a leading producer of electro-mechanical actuators tailored for robotics and unmanned systems, has unveiled a meaningful enhancement to its product line. The company now provides electromagnetic clutches equipped with external position sensors, specifically designed for its larger servo models, including the DA-26.

Enhanced Functionality for Optionally Piloted Vehicles

The newly integrated electromagnetic clutches are particularly beneficial for Optionally Piloted Vehicle (OPV) applications. In scenarios where an actuator may fail,these clutches can be disengaged,allowing the actuator’s output shaft to move freely. This feature empowers pilots to maintain control over the vehicle, ensuring safety and operational continuity.

Robust Design and Precision Engineering

Volz actuators are engineered with a combination of a DC motor, a gear train, and complex control electronics managed by microprocessors that include integrated position feedback. This design enables these electromechanical servo units to achieve precise positioning of a radial output drive. Furthermore, the actuators are housed in a durable aluminum casing, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environmental conditions.

Showcasing Innovations at AUVSI Xponential

Volz Servos will be showcasing its latest advancements in servo technology at the upcoming AUVSI Xponential trade show in Denver, highlighting their commitment to innovation in the field of robotics and unmanned vehicles.
