When it comes to choosing the right actuator for your industry, two primary options, namely pneumatic actuators and electric actuators rightly come to mind. There's pros and cons of each and it is something you should consider before you make up your mind. This text will evaluate the differences between SOVE Pneumatic actuator and electrical actuators, as well as some considerations to take into account in selecting the best option for your needs.
Pneumatic vs Electric Actuators: A Comparison
Liquid actuators work on hydraulic principles, pneumatic actuators use air pressure to produce movement, electric actuators use electricity. Pneumatic tools like actuators is popular with people as they are simple, reliable and cost effective. They can also generate very strong forces and operate at very high speeds. Electric actuators have high precision, controllable, and efficiency. They are particularly well-suited for work that requires a great deal of precision and repeatability.
Considerations When Selecting an Actuator
The selection of an actuator for your industry requires several considerations. One key consideration is the type of movements that you need. Pneumatic actuators are typically better when it comes to fast, straight movement, while Electric actuators/cylinders are better for precise, controlled movement.
