For engineers designing systems requiring linear motion, the choice between rod type and rodless type actuators can be an important decision. Rodless actuators are more sophisticated and expensive ...

Unlike rod-style actuators, electric rodless actuators have the ability to both support and carry loads — which eliminates the need for other load-bearing and guiding elements. However, their ...

Overestimating the available air pressure is one of the most common mistakes when sizing a rodless cylinder. An insufficiency in air pressure often translates to poor actuator performance and, in some ...

A rodless cylinder is a pneumatic component capable of moving a load in a linear path with compressed air. The traditional pneumatic cylinder uses a rod to push or pull the load from the piston, but a ...
