1.1 Principles of electromechanical dimensioning

Generally speaking, the design process for an electromechanical actuator revolves around three key concerns:

  • Formulation of specifications to meet electromechanical requirements;

  • defining a concept to meet this need;

  • finally, the determination of the physical characteristics of the object sought.

Although often neglected, the specification stage is a decisive key to finding an optimized solution for a given functional requirement. This task is all the more delicate as the operating conditions of the devices under consideration become increasingly complex (highly variable operating conditions,...
