Actuation Spotlight

The Curtiss-Wright Ground and Naval Defense (GaND) business segment collaborated with NAVSEA to provide the Naval Systems Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) with a state-of-the-art Small Linear Actuator Test Stand (SLATS). The relationship yielded a one-of-a-kind product to verify performance characteristics of small linear actuators against a known load. The initial data from the test stand is helping to understand the similarities and differences between electromechanical and electrohydraulic actuators. To read more, click here.
