Engineering selection guide
Select the actuator after defining the application.
A maximum force or stroke value is not a product decision. Use this sequence to create the inputs for a configuration-specific review.
Describe the furniture
Architecture, moving sections, pivot geometry, available space and service access.
Map the load path
Applied loads, leverage, direction, static conditions and expected use - not only total user weight.
Define motion
Required travel, installation length, speed, duty cycle, synchronization and feedback.
Define interfaces
Mounting, connectors, power, controls, cable routing and environmental conditions.
Request evidence
Current drawing, performance data, datasheet, sample plan and applicable documents for the selected configuration.
Selection boundary: This guide prepares a review brief. It does not calculate product safety factors or approve a model for use.
