Example

Take an example within the handling and assembling sector . Linear actuation is required on the horizontal plane to move items through to next stage of the production process . A single LinMot Linear motor wi guide can replace a traditional 63mm diameter rodless air cylinder for task , ultimately reducing annual energy cost by over 10,000 EUR and emissions by over 26,000 kg .

The return on investment is significant . Energy saved by using a singl electrically driven actuator over a basic traditional pneumatic cylinder the potential to cover its higher initial outlay within a very short timefra typically less than a year .
