Why Go Electric

Replacing hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders with electrical linear actuators means a simpler and smaller installation, easier control, lower energy costs, higher accuracy, less maintenance, less noise and a cleaner, healthier environment.


Simpler, Smaller Installation:

  • Installs with just two pins, making installation quick 
  • Smaller footprint created over traditional methods


Easier control:

  • Operate with very little force, reducing operator effort 
  • By using a joystick, the operator can execute multiple motions simultaneously 
  • Provides remote control – increases production.


Lower energy costs:

  • Electric actuation components cost less than comparable hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • One electric linear actuator is faster and easier to install than the multiple hydraulic and pneumatic components required to achieve the same function
  • There is no need to upsize the current system to account for any parasitic power draw - Actuators run off a battery
  • There is no need for a pump running continuously, and no amp draw to hold the load in position


Higher Accuracy:

  • Holds power position when off so you don’t have to keep a pump running
  • Will not drift when power is off


Less maintenance:

  • No need for hydraulic pumps, valves and hoses means fewer parts to malfunction or wear out
  • Self-contained unit eliminates access requirements so unit can be placed virtually anywhere in the application
  • No need to resize or change out hydraulic components or break into the system to add components
  • Programmable and end-of-stroke limit switches extend the life of the actuator, eliminating the need for costly maintenance and replacement
  • Eliminate the cost and hassle associated with fluid maintenance


Cleaner, healthier, less noisy environment:

  • No pumps, air pressure or fluids needed means smooth, quiet operation
  • No fluids, chemicals or solvents necessary for operation means there is nothing to leak out or contaminate the environment
  • A compact design means less materials used in production
  • Regional manufacturing and distribution plants mean the product doesn’t have to travel as far, reducing the carbon footprint
