Decision Making
The final decision on the right electromechanical drive is often complex. Customers face challenges such as long delivery times, unclear comparisons, and uncertain selection criteria.
Here, you’ll find everything clearly structured and transparently presented at a glance.
How to solve these problems – with practical, application-oriented articles
I don’t have time to go through dozens of data sheets. Is there a compact comparison table somewhere?
I urgently need a solution, but how long does delivery really take?
I want to know what’s available immediately and what won’t ship for weeks
I’m considering several drives, but how can I compare them quickly and objectively?
Almost there: Decision support for your purchase
Selecting the right drive depends not only on technical details. Practical questions often play a decisive role: How quickly is the product available? And how can I clearly differentiate between the various drive options?
Especially under planning pressure, every minute counts. Having to work through lengthy product descriptions or being left uncertain about lead times costs valuable time - and, in the worst case, trust in the supplier.
Clarity instead of guesswork
This section provides concise decision-making tools to help you find the right solution more efficiently. With a clearly structured comparison table and transparent information on lead times, you can quickly evaluate which product fits your project, without lengthy research or follow-up inquiries.
FAQs
Linear drive technology makes something move in a straight line instead of rotating. It's used in machines to push or pull things precisely back and forth.
There are mechanical, electromechanical, direct electric Linear Actuators (linear motors), as well as hydraulic and pneumatic linear actuators. We utilize electromechanical actuators in our drive solutions.
Which types of linear drive technology there are - GROB GmbH chevron_rightElectric linear drives use electrical energy for motion, whereas hydraulic and pneumatic drives use fluids or gases. Electric drives are more precise and efficient.
A Screw Jack is a combination of a spindle (screw) and a nut (worm gear or traveling nut) that converts rotational motion into linear motion through a worm gear drive.
How screw jacks work and where they are used - GROB GmbH chevron_rightA Linear Actuator converts rotational motion into linear motion. It is powered by electric motors. However, linear movements can also be achieved through hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Electric Linear Actuators are used for more precise movements.
A Linear Chain is a type of chain that can be both pulled and pushed. When the chain links are pushed together, they stay stable and rigid, allowing you to move things forward. It’s often used in machines to lift or push objects.
What a Linear Chain is and where it is used - GROB GmbH chevron_rightAn Electric Cylinder is an electromechanical actuator that operates linearly and is powered by electrical energy to generate motion.
What an Electric Cylinder is and where it is used - GROB chevron_rightA screw drive is a mechanical device that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of a spindle and a nut with matching threads.
Screw Drives: Trapezoidal Screw vs. Ball Screw - GROB GmbH chevron_rightA High-Speed Screw Jack is a mechanical device that enables fast and precise linear motion. It's often used in applications with short strokes and high speeds.
