EMA Challenges
• Gears, roller & ball screw actuators are complex & wear out – metal-to-metal wear
• Shock / Side loading• EMAs require maintenance• Have a finite life• Require expensive load cells for force control• Require a brake to hold position• Can be back-driven & have backlash• Need to be preloaded for precision• Are large & very costly at higher loads
(~>5,000lbf)• High IP ratings are difficult to achieve

Hydraulic Cylinder Challenges
• Pumps run continuously, are oversized, inefficient & are noisy
• Pipes, hoses lead to environmental issues + maintenance & contamination issues
• Requires significant floor space• Are sized to run a finite amount of
cylinders• Difficult to upgrade / add – not flexible• Costly for coordinated motion &
accurate control• Difficult fieldbus integration &
diagnostics
22
Environmental Leaks – Challenges
• Numerous threaded seals (pipes, valves, hoses etc)
• Vibrating hoses & pipes moving & flexing• Continuously running pump – pushing
fluid through the leaks onto the machine• Potential safety hazard – high pressures
are throughout the system regardless of operation
• The screw pulls lubrication from inside to the outside pitching grease
• Leaks from the gear box (+ overfilling)• Require vents (contamination & leaks)• Internal lubricant churning• Fill plugs wear (repeatedly removed)• Thrust forces (all directions) cause housing
stress & leaks
• No sealing via threads (no hoses)• Self-contained unit – totally sealed, no vent• Power-on-Demand• No major metal-metal wear• No maintenance – no fill ports to wear out or cross thread

HPU – Efficiency Costs30%+ losses
Motor / Pump Sizing considerations:- Pressure drops / length of hoses- Connectors 90deg bends etc- Valve loses- Flow loses

Q = flow (GPM)P = pressure (psi)Em = pump mech eff
• Many times, the motors are sized to run continuously at ~1.2x – 1.5x required loads• 2½ times for internal combustion engines
• 30% - 40% Efficiency Savings using the SHA comparing only the HP used• Continuously running motor costs about $800/yr/HP (assuming 0.10$/kWh)
• E.g. for a 10HP requirement, • Size a single HPU 15HP motor, the costs to continuously run: ~$12,000 per year• SHA – 10HP, 30% duty cycle costs are ~$2,400 per year (~80% savings)
24
SHA Advantages vs. Hydraulics• No hoses – No threaded connections –
No leaks• Power-on-Demand – Very Efficient• Lower cost of ownership• Quieter (does not run continuously)• Takes up less floor space• Minimal maintenance• Most reliable actuation solution
available today• Versatile configurations• Accurate control• Fieldbus connectivity• Simple to upgrade (add cylinders)
