Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between the ITG Model and the Split Type Model?

ITG model (Integrated): built-in controller within the actuator body.

Split Type Model: actuator with an external controller; a compatible controller must be selected when ordering.

Q2: How to choose between the RM-PLA-ITG model and the RM-PLA split type model?

  • When the control method is I/O or Modbus RTU, the RM-PLA-ITG model is recommended.
  • When the control method is Modbus TCP or EtherCAT, the electric actuator goes with the split-type model (RM-PLA Split Type).

Q3: How to select the right controller for the split type model of RM-PLA Straight Platform-type Linear Actuator?

For the specific compatible controller, please refer to the technical specifications of the series. Confirmation of the required communication protocol will determine the exact controller model.

Q4: Can the control software for RM electric actuators be downloaded from the RobustMotion website?

Yes. Except for the RM-EGB series, all RM electric actuators should be connected using RM Software (V6 version).

Q5: How to grease an RM Electric Actuator?

Please refer to the user manual for detailed maintenance instructions for each product.

Q6: What are the industrial applications of RobustMotion electric linear actuators?

An electric linear actuator converts electrical energy into precise linear motion, enabling pushing, pulling, lifting, or lowering of loads. Powered by electric motors and controlled by programmable electronics, these actuators provide accurate force and position control for a variety of factory automation and industrial applications, including:

  • Automation and Robotics: Robotic arms, pick-and-place machines, and conveyor systems.
  • Manufacturing: Automated assembly lines, packaging systems, and machine tools.
  • Automotive Industry: Testing equipment, vehicle assembly, and automated production lines.
  • Biomedical: Test tube handling, sample sorting, diagnostic device automation, and laboratory automation platforms.

Q7: What are the benefits of electric actuators compared to pneumatic actuators?

Compared to pneumatic or hydraulic systems, electric actuators offer higher efficiency, cleaner operation, and superior motion accuracy. They provide high precision, repeatability, and programmable control, allowing real-time adjustment of speed, position, and force. With energy-saving operation, lower maintenance, and easy integration with digital control systems, electric actuators are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, intelligent manufacturing, and precision handling applications.
