Linear actuators power mobile machinery

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

linear actuators

To meet the growing demand for electrification, manufacturers are designing more powerful electric actuators for mobile equipment. Mobile equipment such as fork lifts and other off-highway equipment is changing. With more emphasis on rethinking the drive systems for this type of equipment, there is a slow but steady turn toward other drive technologies, one of […]
