Linear Motion Gets Electromechanical Boost.

The article focuses on the use of electromechanical systems in precision motion applications. It states that pneumatic systems often are less expensive than electromechanical actuators, controllers, and motors if the bill of material costs are compared, but payback occurs within one to two years when operating, service, and installation costs are considered. It talks about challenges in precision motion applications in environments that have temperature changes or are very hot or cold.
