Actuator Technology

Actuator technology refers to the methods and devices used to move or control a mechanism or system. An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving or controlling a system or device. It converts energy (often electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic) into physical motion. Actuators can be found in various applications, including industrial machinery, robotics, automotive systems, and consumer electronics. They can be categorized into linear actuators, which create straight-line motion, and rotary actuators, which provide rotational motion. Actuator technology plays a critical role in automation, enhancing efficiency and precision in various operations.
