Make the Change to Electric

Why go electric? Designing with electric actuators instead of pneumatic cylinders results in fewer components and a lower total cost of ownership. Choosing electric actuation can deliver superior performance and save time and energy.

Superior Performance

  • Higher power density
  • More accuracy
  • Longer stroke lengths
  • Quieter operation

Time and Energy Savings

  • Reduced energy costs
  • Reduced setup and changeover time
  • Fewer components than a pneumatic system
  • No air leaks
  • No compressor maintenance
