They are essential when it comes to precisely controlling movements in various industrial and commercial applications. In this article, you'll learn why actuators are important, how they work, and why they're the right choice for your applications.
Actuators are mechanical devices used to control or regulate movements in machines and systems. They convert electrical energy into mechanical movement, enabling precise control of valves, flaps, doors and other moving parts. The versatility of actuators makes them an ideal solution for numerous industries including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and many more.
There are different types of actuators that differ in their functionality and application. The most common types are electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Electric actuators are known for their precision and ease of control, while pneumatic and hydraulic actuators are often used in applications that require higher power transmission.
Actuators are used in a variety of applications. In building automation, for example, they control heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In industrial automation, they are essential for the precise control of production processes. Actuators are also increasingly being used in medical technology and agriculture.
Selecting the right actuator depends on several factors, including the required motion precision, force, environmental conditions and type of control. It is important to choose a drive that meets the specific needs of your application.
We warmly invite you to discover our drive configurators and find the right solution for your specific requirements.
Our new configurator for electric actuators visualizes the actuator directly while you select and configure your actuator as usual.
Find the right drive for your application by selecting the desired torque and operating pressure rating.
Our linear actuator configurator allows you to select the ideal actuator for your application by selecting the length, stroke and load capacity.
