The big reason to consider an electric integrated servo actuator
You’re probably most familiar with the variety of electrical rod actuator that has the motor mounted on the outside of the actuator. This arrangement offers the key advantage of allowing you to select the motor. But there is one disadvantage, and that is space. The external motor makes the overall footprint larger. Put the motor […]
