Elesa has developed a solution specifically conceived to address the challenges of marine environments: levelling feet manufactured entirely from SUPER-technopolymer, an advanced material engineered to deliver high performance even under the most extreme conditions.

From pacemakers and neural implants to deep‑space probes, opportunities for maintenance are rare and sometimes non‑existent in mission-critical devices. In such applications, a single motor failure can be catastrophic. Here, Dave Walsha, sales and marketing director at EMS, shares advice on how to select the right motor to balance longevity, reliability and resilience in maintenance‑free systems.
