What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in mind ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators could operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator. Of course, the standard pneumatic option offered ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...
