examples of elctromechanical components



internal workings of a speaker



According to the McGraw-hill dictionary of Scientific & Technical Terms, electromechanics pertains to the mechanical devices, system, or process, which is electrostatically or electromagnetically actuated or controlled. In this blog I would like to introduce and explain to you the different kinds of electromechanical devices and illustrate how they are used today in different industries.Simply put, electro-mechanics is any mechanical component controlled by electrical inputs. 


Examples of common items that are electromechanical devices include speakers, alternators, and typewriters. In the illustration on the right, the loudspeaker cone is the mechanical component. Additionally the electrical components are the wire coil and the permanent magnet. Other electromechanical devices that may be lesser known are amusement rides, hydraulic systems, high-speed automation production lines, robotics and other systems that use programmable logic controllers (PLC). PLC’s are really the brains of the electrometrical device PLCs differentiate from other computers by that they are very reliable.
+ On the second row from the top is an example of a PLC.

They are able to withstand the harsh conditions of various industries in which they are utilized. Examples of industries that use electromechanical devices are the steel industry, automotive industry, the food industry, and the movie industry, just to name a few. As you can see, electromechanical devices are used in a variety of different industries but in completely different ways.
