Several factors significantly influence the decision to use pneumatic or electric control in a linear motion control application. The obvious considerations include the technology preference in use at ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level tradeoffs of ...

How do electric actuators contribute to productivity in today's motion-centric automation environment? John • Exlar: The flexibility provided by electric actuators greatly enhances a design engineer's ...

The MLA (motorized linear actuator) and MEA (motorized electric actuator) series represent a new generation of compact linear motion solutions. Each actuator combines a high-performance stepper or ...

Moving a load in a straight line can be done using a variety of linear actuator devices employing both rod and rodless technologies. For rod-style actuation requiring lower amounts of force ...

Linear actuator uses a lead screw driven by a permanent magnet dc motor to create linear motion from a dc voltage. When power is removed linear actuator will hold its position. However, if a force ...
