  • Electromechanical Actuation - A Benefit for Military Vehicle Design
    . survivability, and stealth capabilities designers need technology that can meet the program demands. Further, designs that offer improved power efficiency, size and weight optimization can help provide. reduced life-cycle costs. With those ideals in mind, many designers are looking at actuation
  • Choosing Between Electromechanical and Fluid Power Linear Actuators in Industrial Systems Design
    Linear actuation plays a critical role in a wide range of products and processes in factory automation, packaging, medical devices, and many other fields. Linear actuators are commonly divided into two main types: fluid power actuators that operate on differential pressure and electromechanical
  • The World of Actuation is Turning Electromechanical
    When it comes to linear actuators, electromechanical devices are becoming the option of choice over their pneumatic cousins due to their speed, precision, and size. Over recent years, demands have grown louder from factory and company managers to use more electric rod-style actuators and fewer
  • What are the Main Types of Linear Actuators?
    Although belt and screw drives are different technologies, it makes sense to put them in the same category because they are the two most common types of electromechanical actuators. Most manufacturers of linear actuators offer both belt and screw-driven options. Belt driven actuators can use
  • Achieving Hazard-Free Linear Motion
    The safety case for electromechanical actuators over hydraulic cylinders.
  • Why Electro-mechanical Actuators are Best for Your Aerospace Application
    Advanced electro-mechanical actuators have been steadily replacing hydraulic and pneumatic actuators in demanding aerospace applications, where manufacturers are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce weight and increase component reliability.
  • What are the Main Types of Linear Actuators?
    There are three types of Linear Actuators used in manufacturing: Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Electro-Mechanical. Hydraulic actuators are primarily used for moving very heavy loads, in the same way, that large construction equipment often operates off of hydraulic pressure. Pneumatic actuators
  • Which Type of Linear Actuator is Best for Thrust Forces?
    When an application requires pure thrust forces, the best type of linear actuator is often a rod-style actuator. Also referred to as "thrust actuators" and (when a motor is integrated) "electric actuators," these electromechanical devices excel at providing axial, or thrust, forces for pushing
