Straight talk on selecting linear actuators
actuators can handle loads to 3,000 lb (13 kN) and deliver speeds to 6 ips (150 mm/sec) with strokes ranging from 2 to 60 in. (50 to 1,500 mm). Actuators can be self-contained in aluminum, zinc, or.

Precision Actuator Puts New Spin on Solar Power
encountered with electromechanical systems. Each actuator's self-contained fluid system uses a multifunctional gear oil with special additives to power hydraulics and cool and lubricate the gears. There are no filters to change, which eliminates one maintenance headache. To ensure a clean system, Parker

Industry Experts Forecast Future Changes in the Technologies
include fly-by-wire and direct drives, on to the latest "more-electric" electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA). EHAs, despite the pre x "electro," are actually self-contained hydraulic modules without the tubing, reservoirs, and components normally associated with traditional hydraulics. EHAs do

Hydrokinetic
good shock protection to the driven and the driving equipment. To remove heat generated by this slippage, all hydrokinetic drives require a heat exchanger. However, constant-speed hydrokinetic couplings used for soft starts are totally self-contained and do not need heat exchangers. Only

Pneumatic linear guides lighten loads
motors, electromechanical ball-screw or belt drives, and hydraulic cylinders. But designers of automated assembly machines increasingly turn to pneumatic linear guides because they provide a combination of features that enhance overall machine performance. Pneumatic systems require a source

Hydrostatic Drives
to the reservoir or to the environment. A cast casing or housing provides a self-contained oil reservoir, structural support for the rotating elements, and heat dissipation. They are usually bolted directly to a mechanical differential axle to form a hydrostatic transaxle. Close-coupled transmissions
