Like an airplane a foiling sailing boat needs to be flown. The pilot or in this case, the skipper and the onboard crew need to control the ride height of the boat to guaranty a sustainable flight. To do so the foil are designed with flaps that are moved with an actuator which can be Hydraulic or Electric.

​

This electromechanical actuator has been designed to move 2.4 tons of loads in both direction at 35 to 40 mm/s top speed for a unit weight of 4.5 kg. The design offers a very high accuracy, backlash free and a high efficiency. We also incorporated an absolute position feedback sensor which can be used in very rough conditions and always give the exact position of the actuator.

​

This product has been designed, by Mobius, on demand, completely custom, dedicated to this application with very high constrains in term of environment and space allowance.
