Electrohydrostatic Actuation

Electrohydrostatic Actuators, often called “power by wire,” are fully self-contained actuation systems that combine design elements from electric and electrohydraulic actuation. They receive power from an electric source and transform an input command signal (usually electrical) into motion. They typically include a servomotor, hydraulic pump, accumulator, and servoactuator.

Moog began investing to develop advanced EHA technology in the late 1980’s for the next generation of “more electric” aircraft flight controls. Over the last two decades, we have matured the technology making significant advancements in performance, reliability, weight and affordability.

EHA technology is being used as the basis of the revolutionary electric flight control system on Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II and was adapted to provide thrust vector control on NASA’s 2nd Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle program.  For industrial applications, it provides high force control with all electric input power.
