Many different linear actuators that people in industrial automation are familiar with provide straight-line motion. Rollon’s Bob Ward, Regional Manager, and Christopher Hirsch, Actuator Product Manager, spoke about the linear electromechanical actuator gaining popularity.
"We're definitely in a growth-spurt market right now", Ward said. " We see an increased focus by our customer for factory automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence application where you're advancing the work inside a lot of factories into robotic cells and automation cells." Thus, the need for electromechanically linear actuators to drive these devices is increasing.
