Hydraulics and pneumatics remain important methods of motion control in many applications. But there are some instances where it might make sense to use another type of technology such as an electric actuator instead of a hydraulic cylinder.

This month’s newsletter offers a look at some of those applications where an alternative to fluid power was a better fit because of performance, maintenance or other requirements. Have application stories you’d like to share related to choosing between fluid power and other technologies? Feel free to reach out to me anytime at [email protected].
