The rotary machine that changed the world. Nikola Tesla’s polyphase motor.
Every so often, a new technology greatly changes the way we live.
And today, more than ever, the world yearns for such technology.
Concerns over environmental sustainability are coming to a head and drawing the attention of citizens, cities, countries, companies, and lawmakers. The automotive and other related industries are now pushing hard to improve energy efficiency and minimize carbon footprints.
The Reliance on Hydraulic Fluid-Power for Linear Actuation
Our homes, cities, factories, and cars are undergoing electrification in efforts to combat carbon emissions. However, the big machines that build and feed our world are among the last to make the transition.
Although the industry has embraced the electrification of rotary actuation, it is the linear actuation related activities that lack a viable alternative. These mobile machines are still utilizing hydraulics to meet their current standards of functionality.
While modern hydraulic systems are incredibly power-dense, very robust, safe, and generally well suited for their applications, they require excessive input energy to do useful work, fail unpredictably, are difficult and costly to maintain, and pose an unnecessary environmental risk.

The fact that the industry has not had a linear actuator that can replace the basic functionality of the hydraulic cylinder in terms of speed, stroke, and controllability has been a major hurdle toward complete electrification and sustainability.
RISE™Robotics, a thriving, innovative industrial technology company, is aiming to solve that.
Through a decade of research and development, RISE™Robotics has worked towards developing a more efficient, more reliable linear actuator capable of meeting the functionality of the hydraulic cylinder. Today they have successfully built and introduced the most energy-efficient fluid-free actuator capable of meeting and exceeding hydraulic cylinder standards—the missing link to heavy machinery electrification.
This Missing Link for Electric Mobile Heavy Machinery
Utilizing a revolutionary mechanical system, RISE™Robotics is leading the way to zero-emission heavy machinery by providing the world’s most efficient and productive alternative to hydraulic cylinders.
Their fluid-free belt technology offers a significant competitive advantage over existing hydraulic technologies and alternatives. Boasting superior performance, dependability, durability, cost effectiveness, safety, and predictability, in addition to being environmentally friendly, it is redefining what linear actuators can do for heavy machinery.
Regenerative Lowering with RISE™Technology
In partnership with RISE™Robotics, revolutionary zero-emission machines are being created with the patented RISE™Cylinder (US Patent 11255416, Patent Pending: WO2019/014259) inside. This fluid-free, electromechanical alternative to hydraulic systems is capable of delivering hydraulic-like forces with unprecedented efficiency, precision, speed, and weight. It also consumes up to 90% less energy than traditional heavy duty linear actuators in the form of hydraulic cylinders due to lower power consumption levels and regenerative charging.
By demonstrating itself capable of meeting or exceeding traditional hydraulic standards, the revolutionary RISE™Cylinder is garnering the attention of investors, engineering teams, and potential partners.
RISE™Robotics has established various industry partnerships, integrating their technology into a range of heavy-duty vehicle and equipment applications, as well as launching several projects with the U.S. Air Force aimed at modernizing the design of current equipment to increase efficiency and agility in the field.
The numerous early achievements of RISE™Robotics and RISE™Cylinder establish merely the starting line for the future of electrification and sustainability in the industry.

Today, RISE™ is seeking endeavors that allow them to advance and adapt their technology to serve the widest selection of applications possible.
Each day, they connect with pioneers and experts across industries, daring enough to partner in re-imagining the machines that move our world, jointly conceptualizing, building, testing, and verifying the next generation of heavy machinery with RISE™Inside.
“Imagine a machine without hydraulic pumps, valves, blocks, tubes, hoses, and seals that uses one-quarter of the energy of the best of today's machines,” acclaims Ken Gray, Chief Product Officer at RISE™Robotics. “Imagine no leaks, no fuel, no emissions. Imagine a machine that's remarkably quiet and out-lifts, out-digs, and operates smoother than anything that's ever been built.
“RISE™Robotics’ mission is to turn that imagination into reality.”
