Hydraulics Versus Electrical Systems - CHAPTER 1
1.2.3-Energy Transmission Cost Factor
Figure 1.20 shows the result of an experiment that was conducted at the University of Kassel in Germany to show the energy
requirement for different linear actuators that perform the same duty cycle. The results show clearly that the actuation cost
using linear electrical actuators is the least.
