Crouzet Electromechanical Solutions provides customers around the world with innovative flight control system offerings. From best-in-class cockpit controls and inceptors to electromechanical actuators - our solutions put pilot commands into motion. Our extensive experience in commercial fixed wing FbW flight control systems and our innovative active vibration control sytems in helicopters combine to make us a great partner for providing advanced flight control interfaces for aerospace applications.
Crouzet provides electromechanical actuators (EMA) for both flight control and utility applications, as well as applications where hydraulic actuation is currently more prevalent, such as spoilers and landing gear operations.
Why choosing Crouzet for your
Flight Control Equipment projects?
CROUZET provides electromechanical actuators for flight control surfaces, such as elevator and aileron trim tabs, as well jamming override acuators and variable force feel actuators for pitch control. Also, our trim acuators are complemented by our pedal travel limitation units. CROUZET flight control actuators use RVDTs, potentiometers, and resolvers to capture motion information and interface with the flight control computer. Our actuators can be used in either fly-by-wire or conventional flight control systems. See more
With more than 14,000 actuators flying, each with a proven MTBF greater than 15,000 FH, CROUZET has the technology, experience and capability to provide a more optimized unit in terms of system weight, cost, aircraft integration, reliability and maintainability. CROUZET electromechanical actuators are designed for safety with the inclusion of over torque limitation, dual load paths and redundant sensors - all according to application requirements. Further, all electrical components used are mature components - logging flying hours for more than 20 years.
We are accustomed to working with both aircraft and system manufacturers in a collaborative environment. When coupled with our extensive and capable on-site test facility, CROUZET is able to support all systems requirements, from development to certification, within the program schedule.
CROUZET provides electromechanical actuators for aerospace utility control applications, such as entry door actuators, oil cooler air trap actuators, engine and APU disconnect actuators, APU inlet door actuators, and a host of other aircraft utility applications. CROUZET engineers work with customers for requirements validation for each application. Our utility actuators use RVDTs, potentiometers, and resolvers to capture motion information and interface with the flight control computer. See more

Our spoiler electromechanical actuator (EMA) is powered by an electrical network. One or two electric motors drive a linear screw that is capable of moving the spoiler surface and holding the required position. Several concepts have been evaluated to meet various aircraft applications, architectures and certification requirements. See more
Our EMA solutions offer an alternative to what is commonly used in existing aircraft - hydraulic actuators that move various surfaces, such as spoilers. While hydraulic technology is mature, it requires multiple hydraulic pumps and a network of hydraulic pipes and valves - all with high weight and maintenance cost implications. Further, fluid contamination can lead to common failure modes at the aircraft level and oil leakage above a hot brake could possibly even create fire.
The good news is that the current aerospace industry trend is toward more electrical systems on aircraft. New power sources now allow more aircraft surfaces to be driven by electro-mechanical actuators (EMA). Our actuators can be deployed in either fly-by-wire or conventional flight control systems.
