Abstract:ACTUATION 2015 is an international cooperation project aiming at promoting the development of European electromagnetic actuation (EMA) technologies. In this project, to improve the design level, safety and reliability while to lower the comprehensive cost of EMA, technologies of EMA were studied, mainly including the model constructing technology, key modules designing technology, health monitoring technology and standardization study, and etc. According to the four study directions of ACTUATION 2015, typical technologydevelopment results from this project about low-cost and high-performance EMA were introduced, and hope these will provide some inspirations for the domestic researchers engaged in relevant work in EMA development and application.
