Electric linear actuators are raising material handling to new heights. As digital transformation extends the scope of automation to more axes and electric linear actuators handle increasingly heavier loads, more material handling system designers are converting hydraulic and pneumatic motion control to electric, especially in new projects. What factors are driving this shift in technology preference?
- The key factors to consider for automating material handling motion sequences.
- New electric actuator advancements ideal for material handling automation applications, including:
- Heavy load handling
- Extended stroke lengths
- Compactness
- Intelligence
- Long life
- Safety and ergonomics
- Customisation
- How to determine if your investment in electrification is paying off.
