For design engineers, choosing the best actuator solution for linear motion projects is not as simple as it once was. Today’s applications require smarter, cleaner and more flexible technologies to integrate with their automated workflow. Whereas fluid power has previously been the solution of choice, more and more designers are finding that electric linear actuators bring more benefits to the table.
