Actuators for the defence industry
From the industrial fieldto the civil one, up to the defence, there are several applications supplied by MecVel electric linear actuators for automation in these areas.
Regarding electric linear actuators for the defence industry, these are the main solutions:
- Mobile camp hospitals for civil protection and shelters: lifting from the ground and placement of shelters and advanced medical posts These operational structures act as first aid centres or as communication and control stations. MecVel has developed an automated lifting system from the ground, together with an auto-levelling system that intervenes in case of irregular ground. This application may have many purposes in the defence field. For example, it allows the container to lift up and down, easing the loading and unloading operations of military material on the ground, or a truck. in other cases, this system may be used to lift the container to a certain “security” level from the ground.
- Radar: orientation of the dish. MecVel can handle the orientation of radars and antennas to optimize the monitoring system and the signal coverage. Moreover, electric linear actuators can reposition these devices, placing them in a safe condition in case of atmospheric agents such as wind, snow, etc.
Advantages
MecVel is in the linear automation field since 1987, making experience also in the defence industry: the know-how acquired in more than 30 years leads the company to offer innovative and efficient solutions, with extremely performing and versatile products at the service of linear motions required by radars, dishes, containers and shelters.
Among the advantages that must be included is the customization service provided by the company, with the purpose to configure each product in detail, tailoring it according to the technical specifications of the application to which it is intended.
In addition, the electric system used offers different benefits if compared to hydraulic and pneumatic ones, first of all, the eco-sustainability.
