I'm looking for industrial linear actuators?
I’m relocating part of our assembly line to a new facility, and this time we’re trying to do it right instead of just patching old machinery together. Previously, we had issues with linear actuators that overheated or just stopped working halfway through the shift. My manager told me we should be looking specifically at “industrial linear actuators,” but didn’t give much detail beyond that, so I’m trying to learn what to look for.

Totally get that — reliability and uptime are everything in production work. The term “industrial” isn’t just a buzzword; it usually means the actuator has been engineered for more demanding use — stronger force capabilities, better electronics, more robust mechanical construction, and a duty cycle that can withstand continuous operation. I found a really good breakdown of these units on the industrial linear actuators page here high load actuators https://www.progressiveautomations.com/en-eu/pages/industrial-linear-actuators . Looking through that really helped me grasp how different models handle repeated cycles, what environments they’re rated for, and what the real performance trade-offs are.
