INFOGRAPHIC: Ten Tips for Specifying Rodless Electric Linear Actuators

1. Calculate all loads precisely.

Our sizing software can help you get the right actuator for your application.

2. Don’t over-size.

3. Calculate moments (torques).

4. Consider the effects of speed and inertia.

5. Factor in the duty cycle.

6. Remember that mounting makes a difference.

7. Consider both the configuration and power output of the drive system.

8. Match life expectations with actuator capabilities.

9. Be certain about accuracy requirements

10.Factor in the environment.
