Abstract
Having the wrong machine in the job will result in a loss of time, money, and resources for a company. Many people cannot lift 10,000 pounds of coal at the power plant, a 1,000 pound engine at Nemak, or push a 40 pound block through a cuber at Sartori. Various machines have been integrated into the manufacturing settings to aid us in the completion of this task or even perform the task for us. Two options that are very similar are a hydraulic actuator and a pneumatic actuator. While being very similar, they are also very different and each possesses their own advantages. The selection of the appropriate actuator is crucial to having the job completed in the safest and most cost effective manner. Having the wrong machine in the job will result in a loss of time, money, and resources for a company.
