Actuators for the renewable energy industries
Are fossil fuels still the best way to produce energy? With the increasing shortage of resources that we are facing lately, we are now forced to ask this question to ourselves. Here at MecVel, like many other people, we strongly think they are not. For this reason, we decided many years ago to produce an electric-powered device, but this is not it. We developed a range of actuators dedicated to the needs of the renewable energy fields!
Electric linear actuators may be used in many renewable energy fields, as a linear driving system. In this way the actuator contributes to creating the energy that powers it, to continue working. Thus triggering a virtuous spiral, where the actuator works to also power itself with clean energy.
The models’ versatility and the raw material and components quality, make MecVel products ideal for many different outdoor applications, ensuring their durability and performativity.
MecVel’s actuators may be used in the solar industry to rotate solar trackers. They can be rotated on two axes, the daily and the seasonal ones. In this way, the solar plant efficiency may raise by 30%, if compared to a static one.
MecVel’s actuators can be used in a wind turbine to control the rotatory speed of the blades, and eventually disarm them. Moreover, they may be used to handle the opening/closure of windows for the aeration system inside the rotor.
MecVel’s actuators may be used in the hydroelectric field to automate the opening/closing of bulkheads for water flow regulation. They are also used to handle the machines for the maintenance and cleaning of rivers.
