First Intelligent Electromagnetic Release Mechanism for Reversible Safety Systems Ready for ProductionEnergy storage and electronic components are integrated in the compact housing of the versatile actuator from Continental Automotive Systems and Thomas Magnete.March 20, 2006Frankfurt/Herdorf -- Continental Automotive Systems and Thomas Magnete have developed an electromagnetic actuator that integrates both control electronics and energy storage within its housing. The central control unit for passive safety functions can therefore be significantly more compact than in the past and depending on the configuration needs only to be populated with the corresponding software. Now ready for production, it is the first actuator of its kind that is especially suited for reversible safety systems such as retractable roll bars, pop-up engine hoods, and active headrests. The first mass applications are expected for 2009.
