What are electromechanical devices?
Electromechanical equipment plays a vital role in chemical laboratories by combining electrical and mechanical systems to ensure accurate, safe, and efficient operations. These instruments are widely used for sample preparation, analysis, process control, and safety monitoring.  
 

Common electromechanical equipment in a chemical lab includes magnetic stirrers, centrifuges, pumps, mixers, ovens, balances, fume hood blowers, and automated dosing systems. They help maintain precision, improve productivity, and reduce manual handling errors.

Proper operation, regular calibration, and routine maintenance of electromechanical equipment are essential to ensure reliable results, equipment longevity, and laboratory safety. All equipment should be used according to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safety guidelines./strong>

Examples of common electromechanical devices

It is virtually impossible to list every single electromechanical device. You most likely use this equipment every day, both personally and professionally. Some of the most common devices are used in:

• household appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators or vacuum cleaners
• transportation, such as trains and trams
• the automobile industry, with alternators and electric motors
• CD and DVD players, printers

• motors and other hydraulic presses
