Search ResultActuators: Solenoid beats Pneumatics
Case study highlighting the cost benefits of electromagnetic actuators versus pneumatic systems. This covers investment costs as well as energy costs over life time, hence a full TCO (total cost of ownership) approach. The case study is based on a real example from Kendrion.
