ASK THE EXPERTS: HOW DOES POSITION FEEDBACK IMPROVE LINEAR ACTUATOR PRECISION AND PERFORMANCE?

In this episode of Ask the Experts, the Kyntronics team provides a high-level comparison of how position feedback in linear actuators is implemented across electromechanical screw-driven actuators, traditional hydraulic systems, and hybrid linear actuators.

This video covers:

• How position feedback location impacts linear actuator accuracy
• Why feedback measured far from the rod end can introduce drift over time
• How direct rod-end position sensing improves precision and repeatability
• How position feedback enables short stroking to reduce cycle times
• How position data supports quality verification in press and assembly applications
• How recorded position data supports performance monitoring and preventive maintenance
