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 ...

Hydraulic actuators have long been the go-to choice for engineers looking to produce large forces or move heavy loads. Today, however, an increasing number of engineers are choosing electromechanical ...

Linear actuators are mechanical devices used to move items through a system. The device uses energy to develop force and motion in a linear manner, as opposed to a rotational motion in an electric ...

Mechanical and hydraulic presses have specific failure points that demand vigilant monitoring. Choosing the ideal actuator type can boost reliability. BONUS: Download a practical actuation guide for a ...

Learn why earlier actuator selection helps automation engineers optimize machine performance, reduce redesigns and support future-ready manufacturing platforms efficiently. Early actuator selection ...

Boost ROI with energy-efficient electric actuators, predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, and a focus on intelligent, linear and water-sector applications.Dublin, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - ...

Shape-memory alloys (SMAs) are those materials that respond to temperature changes by changing form factor. Originally funded by the U.S. Navy, SMA technologies were first commercialized by Raychem ...

Manual valve actuators do not require an outside power source to move a valve to a desired position. Instead, they use a handwheel, chainwheel, lever, or declutchable mechanism to drive a series of ...
