Tolomatic develops open-source, low-cost ventilator actuation prototypes for COVID-19 patients
In an effort to support the global need for medical ventilators, Tolomatic has dedicated a team of engineers to the development of highly efficient emergency ventilator concept systems using electric linear actuators. Tolomatic’s solution is a new type of ventilator that operates using an electric linear actuator. These prototypes automate a non-invasive, positive-pressure resuscitator (also self-inflating […]
Out with the oil, in with the screw
A new generation of electromechanical actuators is replacing hydraulic cylinders in demanding applications. Increasingly, that choice is being driven as much by cost advantages as by performance. Tarek Bugaighis Ewellix Traditionally, when engineers wanted to produce large forces or move heavy loads their first choice would be hydraulic actuation. Today, however, hydraulic systems have a […]
