DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications.

Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly.

Rodless cylinders are linear devices that use pressurized fluid to move a load within many power transfer operations

Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel.

Gas compressors and systems are used to circulate gas through a process, enhance conditions for chemical reactions, provide inert gas for safety or control systems, recover and recompress process gas, and maintain correct pressure levels by either adding and removing gas or vapors from a process system.

Linear thrusters use double-acting pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrohydraulic cylinders mated to plates and shafts to provide cyclical linear motion.
