ACTUATION SYSTEMS AVIATION CONTROLLING FLIGHT PATHS At SABCA we design, manufacture or maintain actuators for commercial aviation and defence industry. Actuation systems are the joints, muscles and nerves of an airplane. They are the components that set other parts in motion. In the Flight Control System, Actuators move flight control surfaces like the ailerons, elevators, rudder, flaps and spoilers according to Roll/Pitch/Yaw inputs from the Pilots or Autopilot System. Actuators can also be found in most other systems such as Landing Gear System, Brake System, Door Operating Systems and more. SABCA produces electrohydraulic and electromechanical actuators and is, in light of further electrification of future aircrafts, developing lighter and less energy consuming electric actuators. A new technology to improve performance and increase reliability.
