Hydraulic Linear Actuator Design Considerations
While there are many types of Linear Actuators ranging from the simple “roller screw” model to sophisticated electro-mechanical, pneumatic, piezoelectric, and hydraulic, a linear actuator generally refers to devices that convert rectilinear or electro-rotational motion into linear motion. Hydraulic linear… Continue reading Hydraulic Linear Actuator Design Considerations
Oil & Gas Safety Switch Applications
Explosions and failures that occur in the Oil and Mining industry can have catastrophic results. While not every incident rises to the level of the tragic Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the nature of drilling… Continue reading Oil & Gas Safety Switch Applications
