Versatile integrated servo linear actuator design platform

Reliance has worked with its customers for many years as a collaborative technical partner, supporting designers responsible for new product development. David Sutcliffe, Aerospace & Defence Business Manager, comments: "The designers have stressed the importance of tailored solutions for their applications, and they also need to bring products to market quickly and with a high degree of confidence in quality and performance. We have responded by offering a design platform, rather than an off-the-shelf product or totally bespoke approach, because it gives them the flexibility they want together with validated design information."

Reliance brings its longstanding heritage in mechanical design into the servo actuation arena, as Chief Designer, William Barraclough, explains: "By taking a multi-disciplined engineering approach we are able to optimise the overall system performance and, if customers require just the mechanical element, they can be confident that it has been designed in the context of a complete system."

The servo actuator platform offers designers a practical, high-quality design route. Extensive design verification is being undertaken in-house by Reliance in order to mitigate qualification risk and help customers achieve rapid time-to-market. Furthermore, the servo actuator design platform, is designed and manufactured in the UK and is ITAR-free.
