How to Select the Right Linear Actuator to Achieve Greater Efficiency and Reliability

This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of linear actuators and their critical role across various industries. Learn how these actuators are commonly used in applications where high force and precise control are essential, enabling efficient and reliable operation in equipment such as construction machinery, agricultural implements, and industrial automation systems.

Our expert panel covers the following topics:
General Applications of Linear Actuators: Learn where linear actuators are commonly used.

On- and Off-Highway Uses: Delve into specific applications, from high-force uses like backhoe buckets to low-force applications such as hospital beds or stand-up desks.

Power Sources: Understand the differences between centralized and decentralized power sources, including traditional hydraulic power units and localized solutions.

Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (EHAs) vs. Electro-Mechanical Actuators (EMAs): Gain insights into how these technologies work and their respective advantages.

When to Specify EHAs vs. EMAs: Learn the criteria for choosing the right actuator for your application needs.
