About
About RISE Robotics
RISE works with equipment manufacturers and suppliers to integrate Beltdraulic actuators into machinery. The technology accepts an electric rotary drive, so it can be used within machines whose primary energy source is a battery, diesel engine or another power system. Application engineering covers the actuator's installation and its connection to the host machine.
The product range includes a fluid-free, double-acting 20 kN cylinder with alternative speed configurations and customisation options. A developer kit offers Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson control options for evaluation. RISE also applies the technology to liftgates and load-handling equipment, linking component supply with complete application development and support for manufacturers adopting electrically controlled linear motion.
