What Is a Linear Actuator?

Comments Off on What Is a Linear Actuator?

To differentiate between linear or rotary actuators, consider their motion profile. In the case of linear actuators, they generate push or pull movement along a straight line through rotary motion. Different types of linear actuators utilize energy sources such as electricity, pressurized hydraulic fluid, and compressed air or gas to power the motor that creates […]

Hydraulic vs. Pneumatic vs. Electric Actuators

Comments Off on Hydraulic vs. Pneumatic vs. Electric Actuators

  Actuators are mechanical devices that use energy to generate motion. Manual or automatic control commands initiate change in physical systems, creating motion to perform a task. Actuators allow machines to lift, block, clamp, eject and more. Depending on the type of energy source used to produce motion, three main types of actuators are available: […]

What Is a Servo Actuator?

Comments Off on What Is a Servo Actuator?

Actuators are designed to convert energy from different sources, such as electric currents, pneumatic pressure, or hydraulic fluid pressure, into motion. There are three main types of actuators: pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, and servo actuators. Servo actuators use feedback signals to move or control mechanical systems in a highly efficient and safe manner. This is […]

Why Use Air Over Oil Cylinders?

Comments Off on Why Use Air Over Oil Cylinders?

Air over oil cylinders are pneumatic cylinders designed to produce greater force than standard pneumatic cylinders of the same bore size. They incorporate both oil and air within the mechanism, creating a hybrid pneumatic-hydraulic cylinder that intensifies the amount of force generated by compressed air input. HyperCyl takes the innovative design of hybrid air over […]
