Here, we outline how some linear components — including guides, cylinders, and even electric actuators — go strong for presses. Lisa Eitel · Executive editor Linear motion abounds in the machine-tool industry. But unlike machines using linear motion to transport workpieces (and for material handling generally) equipment such as presses use linear motion to apply […]

Combining hydraulic and electric-motor strengths for presses
Press equipment in the machine-tool industry often employs hydraulic systems for their ability to deliver high force … yet fluid leaks, energy consumption, compromised precision, and downtime can be real issues — especially as pumps, hoses, seals, and filtration components need regular servicing. What’s more, engineers often overspecify presses’ hydraulic actuators for significantly higher force […]
