Weight or Space? Optimization Effects of Compact Actuator Technology in an...
Compact actuator technology is often credited for helping designers of offshore facilities (such as floating production, storage, and offloading vessels (FPSO) & floating liquefied natural gas vessels (FLNG)) to optimize valuable space & weight on the facility. Because compact actuators usually require considerably more machining than conventional scotch-yoke designs, customers typically weigh the benefits versus the costs of compact technology.
