Why are more and more engineers replacing their pneumatic or hydraulic drive system with a servo motor with gearbox?
We first list the advantages of both pneumatic and hydraulic drive systems in a row. We then explain why these systems are increasingly being replaced – for example in the automotive industry – by a servomotor gearbox combination. Apex Dynamics' extensive experience with this transition means that we can provide our customers with excellent information about the possibilities.
In many processes in industry, hydraulics and pneumatics are still used extensively. Hydraulics uses a fluid under pressure, while pneumatics uses compressed gases such as air. Both types can be used for rotary (motors, pumps) and linear (cylinder) applications.
And of course both drive types have their own advantages and disadvantages.
We would be happy to tell you more about it, or read here how servo technology can replace hydraulics and pneumatics…
