Electro-hydrostatic actuators EHAs are not the latest technology edit
EHAs are not the latest technology edit
C. W. Helsley, Jr., "Power By Wire for Aircraft - the All-Electric Airplane", SAE, #771006, February 1977this shows the hydraulics have been eliminated and a new section or connection to linear actuator should be made. Electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHAs)are not the latest technology

quote ""mechanical servo-power package (MSPP) to these functions will meet the power and frequency response requirements, and will save additional weight. The MSPP consists of an electric motor, an adapter gearbox, a flywheel, a mechanical controller, and a mechanical hinge. ""
Hydraulic vs. Hydrostatic edit
Why is the title of the article "Electro-hydraulic actuator" when it describes only what an "Electro-hydrostatic actuator" is?
I'm pretty sure that hydraulic and hydrostatic are not synonyms. Shouldn't we change the article name and, more importantly, write a paragraph explaining the difference between electro-hydraulic actuators and electro-hydrostatic actuators? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.13.28.133 (talk) 20:29, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hydraulic commonly is a synonym for hydrostatic. Also I'm unaware of any hydrokinetic counter-examples to this. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- The first post in entirely correct, and the second post wrong. There are fundamental differences between hydraulic and hydrostatic actuator technologies. The entire article requires re-writing. The following links would be very helpful:

Response time of EHAs edit
I suggest adding details about the response time of the actuators and the systems that use them.
Also, it might be good to link to a description of the technology used in the actuators. Pneurd (talk) 12:17, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Stepper motors? edit
Why does this article claim, "The primary development that lead to the possibility of EHAs was the precision feedback controlled conventional motor, or high-power stepper motor." I know of no use for stepper motors here, nor how they'd even be used. The purpose of an electro-hydraulic system (the topic of this article) is that a relatively simple electric motor provides the power, the precision comes from hydraulic valves. There's just no need for an electrical positioning system such as a stepper, torque motor or similar. Nor does the cited reference support this. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:04, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
