Accurate weather forecasting is essential for the safety of air traffic. Weather radar systems provide one of the most important means of detecting approaching storms. Each rotation of the antenna requires a rapid and precise adjustment of the angle of inclination. SKF rotary actuators have been chosen for this task.

Modern vessels employ variable-pitch propeller blades for manoeuvering. These are often used in conjunction with sophisticated computer systems. Such is the case with vessels used in diving operations, where the exact position has to be maintained even during bad weather conditions. Using SKF rotary actuators, the propeller blades respond precisely to signals from the computer.
