Select the Right Pneumatic Actuator

An April 13th Machine Design webinar sponsored by Fabco-Air Inc. takes a look at the issues surrounding pneumatic actuators and their design applications. While designers tend to consider only basic functionality, an application may require specific design features to optimize them. The webinar will look at the various standards and form factors to which actuators are designed, as well as some of the technologies that can enhance their functionality or durability in an application.

Simulation-Driven Product Design Ebook

Intelligent Performance Engineering (IPE) is a comprehensive digital thread designed to help industrial machine manufacturers manage the complexities of building the next generation of machines. It’s also the subject of a new Machine Design Ebook sponsored by Siemens. Click link to download the Integrated Performance Engineering Ebook. It will offer a holistic solution to improve reliability and address risk by simulating complete machine operation.
