Machine performance requirements, budget and workforce knowledge are among the first aspects to consider when deciding whether to use a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric actuation...

The high-performance demands now placed on low-force automation applications is causing manufacturers to consider using hybrid linear actuators.

Learn how load alignment and system design play a critical role in ensuring the reliability of linear actuators.

Hybrid actuators combine hydraulic power and electric control to provide an energy-efficient, leak-free, and durable solution for press machinery and other applications.

Compared to a variable-displacement pump driven by a constant-speed motor, a pump powered by a variable-speed drive can cut energy costs, lower heat and noise generation, and ...

A self-contained modular actuator continues the trend of driving a hydraulic pump with a variable speed motor. But this one departs from convention with patent-pending features...
