Project description
Converting from hydraulic to electric to save energy and eliminate spill
In the construction machinery industry, hydraulic systems reign supreme, offering power and precision. However, their omnipresence is also associated with challenges such as potential environmental impacts and increased maintenance costs. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the Electric Actuator project emerges as the solution, presenting a groundbreaking alternative that not only matches but surpasses hydraulic capabilities. This innovation signals a seismic shift in construction technology, promising energy efficiency, reduced environmental footprint, and cost-effective maintenance across the industry. Offering the ability to transfer high loads in a compact design, this project marks a transformative leap towards a greener and more efficient future for construction machinery worldwide.
Objective
We have invented and developed a specific solution for one of the key components found within most of the worlds excavators, cranes, construction machinery. Excess Engineering have patented and tested a new revolutionary electric actuator that can replace all type of hydraulic systems. Electric systems available in the market today has never been able to replace hydraulic systems in construction machines. Our patented electric actuator has the ability to transfer high loads, give the required stroke at a small footprint. We are now able to replace hydraulic cylinders in almost every application. The technology provides many advantages compared to hydraulic systems, including improved energy efficiency, no hydraulic oil required, reduced need and cost of maintenance and increased service life.
