High Accuracy AND High Repeatability |
|
Accuracy is the ability of a linear actuator to reach a commanded position. if an actuator is highly accurate, it will exhibit a high degree of repeatability as well. | |
High Repeatability, but Lower Accuracy |
|
Rebeatability is the ability of a linear actuator to reach the same position time after time. Repeatability is often what’s needed in an application rather than accuracy. | |
Lower Accuracy and Lower Repeatability |
|
There are applications where positioning tolerances are wider. In those instances lower degrees of accuracy and repeatability are acceptable. |
