Expertise
Delivering the optimal balance of performance, durability, precision and cost to your motion challenge is not easy. It requires a full toolbox of hardware and electronics expertise. PEM has decades of experience with every aspect of engineering the right control system to optimize your motion requirements. Designed to your specifications. Minimal or no development costs to you. Rapid development. Flexible quantities. Superior quality. No kidding
Hardware
Whether your motion system requires tight tolerances, heavy duty cycles, or requires tight packaging and low unit costs, optimizing the correct hardware is critical. PEM has expertise with every possible hardware combination - using only the highest quality parts that meet PEM’s exacting standards.
Motors
It all starts with the motor. Whether it’s an off-the-shelf motor or custom-made, PEM uses the proper motor for your application to maximize the value to your unique situation. Quickly, efficiently, economically, professionally.
Position Control
Controlling actuator movement is a key determinant of any system configuration. PEM has experience in every position control method available in the market – all prescribed based on your performance and price criteria.
Custom Gear Boxes
The design and quality of the gears and gearbox are critical to delivering the proper performance at the appropriate price. PEM will design the proper gearbox to maximize your system’s performance. The right design with the right hardware. At the right price.
Clutch & Brake Mechanisms
Need to protect your system from mechanical overload? No problem. PEM has engineered hundreds of actuator systems using detent clutches – safely and reliably.
Linear Drive Systems
Heavy load vs. light load; heavy duty cycle vs. light duty cycle; self-locking vs. mechanical brake, tight budget or high performance? Trade-offs within motion systems are a fact of life. As with motors and gearboxes, PEM has decades of experience putting the correct screw configuration to work to optimize your price/performance requirements.
CAN Bus
PEM has extensive experience using CAN Bus protocol. Have a system that runs on CAN Bus? No problem. PEM actuators can be designed to plug right into your existing system.
Ethernet/IP
On the forefront of electronic controls, PEM is a pioneer in Ethernet/IP protocols leveraging industrial automation. Proof that PEM truly delivers comprehensive and unique actuator and control systems to the market.
Radio Controls
Want to control your actuators remotely? From 500 feet? Using proportional control? No problem. PEM has designed and built industrial-strength actuators running via wireless remote control. An actuator with a transmitter AND a receiver? No problem.
