On the surface, it may seem like choosing the right actuator for a given application is an easy task. In reality, however, much more goes into selecting a reliable actuator than you might think.

Rollon’s latest white paper will help customer avoid the most common specification errors. The paper covers eight key points:

• Accuracy and repeatability. Learn how repeatability measures a system’s command position, as well as some common specifications for accuracy.
• Capacity. Understand the different types of capacity to consider for an actuator.
• Travel length. Learn the differences between stroke and overall length when selecting an actuator.
• Usage. Get an idea of how long an actuator will run.
• Ambient environment. Recognize how environmental conditions will affect the performance of an actuator.
• Timing. Find out the importance of sticking to the project’s timeline.
• Orientation. Discover how an actuator’s orientation will influence its ability to carry a given load.
• Rates. Learn how to choose the right motion profile for an application.
