New Technology - The Force Motor

Background: Within the aerospace industry as well as in the military heavy equipment area, there has been continued reliance for more than 40 years on the torque motor ( a rotational, proportional actuator) to control hydraulic systems. The advantages of continued reliance on this technology include the fact that it is proven, time-tested, and operates on low electrical current.

New Technology: In partnership with the Mineba Company Ltd., a Japanese conglomerate, IMC Corporation has developed a new technology to replace the traditional torque motor with the "Force Motor" - a linear, proportional actuator. The advantages of this new technology include:

Increases product reliability and safety of operations
Decreases product costs an average of 30%
Continues to operate on low electrical input
Introduced digital technology
Provides longer proportional stroke (4-6 times longer) which increases product functionality
