Electromechanical actuation refers to the use of electrical energy to produce mechanical motion. This process typically involves converting electrical signals into physical movement through devices like motors or solenoids. These actuators are commonly found in various applications, including robotics, automotive systems, and industrial machinery. The main components of electromechanical actuation systems include sensors, controllers, and actuators. Sensors detect changes in the environment, while controllers process this information and send commands to the actuators, which then perform the desired mechanical action. This technology enables precise control and automation in many fields.
