Who is Erik?
200
This standard option is used to increase moment capability without changing a frame size or carrier type.
What is an auxiliary carrier?
200
This actuator is commonly used for pneumatic cylinder replacements.
What is the ERD?
200
The modification made to actuators to accept air connections and use positive air pressure to keep debris out of an actuator.

400
The rodless actuator orientation sometimes used in an environment with falling debris or fluid.
What is carrier down?
400
This sizing input parameter influences reflected inertia (Motor Requirements) and is of particular concern when using belt driven actuators.
What is load?
400
The owner of this Pawsee of pups (Blaire, Ellie, and Indie) is constantly terrorizing the apps group with fantastic/terrible puns.
