6. Towards compact, intelligent actuators

The evolution observed in current actuator requirements points to at least two major trends:

  • a need for autonomous actuator components capable of producing actions in response to commands from an available electrical energy source; these actuators must therefore integrate energy shaping and conversion functions, as well as self-piloting and close control functions;

  • a need for actuators directly incorporated into an application; they must therefore be specific to that application.

6.1 Power converter integration

Two stages of power converter integration can be envisaged.

  • The first stage involves locating...
