    Application Arrangement & Outline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is a primary step that will dictate the outcome of the process, and outline the steps that follow. Here, you will have to decide on the number of axes of motion. In-depth knowledge of the product and the desired results will enable you to choose the correct linear system arrangement. You can choose between one, two, and three axis configurations.<\/p>\n

      Mounting of Linear Actuators (Orientation Factors)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mounting linear actuators to deliver precise movement is an important step. This step is dependent on the arrangement discussed above. In the basic one axis arrangement, this step is straightforward. It gets complicated when mounting linear systems in multi-axis arrangements. The following factors need to be taken into consideration:<\/p>\n
