Actuators - explained

How do actuators work? Linear actuators, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, and vacuum actuators. Actuators are used ...
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 ...
Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...
The IP (Ingress Protection or International Protection) code rating is an internationally recognized system developed to standardize the degree of protection that “enclosures” provide against foreign ...
Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
Plant engineers at Eskom’s Majuba Power Station in South Africa have been continuously looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability. The six-unit, 4,000-MW, supercritical coal-fired plant ...
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 ...
This growth is fundamentally anchored in the global 'Electrification' mandate, which is driving a massive transition within the linear actuators industry away from legacy fluid-power systems toward ...
