To take full advantage of the benefits of electric linear actuators, machine designers should be aware of the critical concepts, proper selection processes, necessary installation considerations, ideal applications and cost implications.
Electric linear actuators provide numerous benefits over hydraulic and pneumatic counterparts, but these devices can be somewhat complex to the unfamiliar. This resource provides an in-depth look at electric linear actuators and details how they achieve high accuracy and repeatability, the advantages of rod or rodless designs, when a stepper or servo motor is beneficial, installation guidelines, how they boost efficiency in many applications and how they improve total cost of ownership.
