description The electromechanical servo is the preferred aviation servo actuator system now. EMA (electromechanical actuators), especially EMA of airplanes, will inevitably occur a variety of faults. FMECA (Failure Modes, Effect and Criticality Analysis) is commonly used to analyze the failure mode of the product. However, traditional FMECA is easily affected by subjective factors, and previous studies on FMECA have not focused on the EMA of airplanes. Therefore, this paper was carried out to provide a method of EMA failure modes analysis to find out the most vulnerable part of EMA. Firstly, we analyzed the PMSM using traditional FMECA to obtain a preliminary result for further examination. Then, we used fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to quantify qualitative evaluation indicators and build a fuzzy FMECA model based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, which can directly obtain the risk ranking of each failure mode. At the same time, the model was used on PMSM, which is an important part of EMA, to give an example of using this method. Finally, two results were compared to verify the accuracy of the improvement method. The main contribution of the article was to propose a model that can rank the risk levels of all components in EMA on airplanes based on fuzzy FMECA.
