Imagine the heavy arms of an excavator that usually move using oil-filled tubes. This technology replaces those messy oil systems with a powerful electric motor that acts like a giant, super-strong screw. It does the same heavy lifting but without the leaks, using much less energy.
Electric heavy machinery is currently held back by inefficient hydraulic systems that waste energy and require heavy batteries. This creates a bottleneck for the transition to CO2-free construction equipment.
A patented electromechanical actuator capable of replacing hydraulic cylinders in heavy-duty machinery.
If you are an OEM dealing with the inefficiency of hydraulic systems in electric machines — this project developed an electric actuator that handles loads up to 120 tons. This allows you to remove hydraulic oil entirely and reduce the battery size needed for operation.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with high maintenance costs and oil leaks in remote mining sites — this project developed a patented electric actuator with a stroke of up to 3 meters. It increases service life and removes the need for hydraulic oil maintenance.
If you are a producer dealing with energy losses in heavy-duty lifting gear — this project developed a high-load electric solution. It improves overall energy efficiency, which is critical for machines operating where recharging options are limited.
Based on available project data, the technology reduces the need for larger batteries, which decreases the initial costs and the overall weight of the machinery.
Yes, the developed actuator is designed for heavy-duty applications and can handle loads up to 120 tons with a stroke of up to 3 meters.
The project utilizes a patented electric actuator developed by Excess Engineering.
It replaces traditional hydraulic cylinders, eliminating the need for hydraulic oil and reducing energy losses within the electric powertrain.
Based on available project data, the system requires no hydraulic oil, which leads to reduced maintenance costs and an increased service life.
The project is led by a single Norwegian SME, Excess Engineering AS. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the project is lean and focused on direct commercial application and industrial implementation.
