A right-sized approach to actuator design with Simcenter

When it comes to heavy machinery, heavier is not necessarily better. Sometimes, shaving off a little over-engineering weight yields incredible gains.

Just ask Advanced Actuators.

Catering to clients from a range of industries, including oil and gas, bulk materials, and power generation, they distinguish themselves by delivering solutions that are precise, efficient, and cost-effective.

Using Simcenter Amesim, they were able to optimize the performance and efficiency of their hydraulic actuator designs. With system simulation and virtual prototyping, it becomes possible to evaluate whole-system performance. For Advanced Actuators, this translated into understanding their true component failure points and sizing needs.

By not over-engineering the system, they are able to save costs, and with fewer oversized components, they are able to both go to market faster and reduce energy consumption.

For Advanced Actuators, a simulation-driven approach has been the key to:

  • Thriving under time-to-market pressure
  • Addressing environmental concerns
  • Embracing digital transformation
  • Delivering right-sized solutions
  • Achieving shorter design cycles
  • Performing fewer physical prototypes
  • Gaining new business

It’s an impressive list of benefits for just one piece of the tech stack.
