Product Variant: Hybrid Actuator Actuator Only

Ask the Experts: What is Side-Loading and How Does It Affect My Actuator?

In this episode of Ask the Experts, our team dives into one of the most common and often overlooked issues in actuator performance: side loading. Side loading can drastically shorten actuator life if not properly addressed.

Our experts explain what causes side loading, how it affects different actuator technologies, and why hybrid linear actuators provide a superior solution.

In this video, you will learn:

  • What side loading is and why it occurs
  • How it affects electro-mechanical and hydraulic actuator designs
  • Why Kyntronics Hybrid Linear Actuators are built to handle side and shock loads
  • Real-world examples of design considerations to prevent premature actuator wear
