Linear Technology Technical route
S+R compared repair, spare part and new actuator, then derived a compatible retrofit assembly with documented interface.
Real-world project example
Retrofit solution for an older installed system
An existing drive was no longer economical to repair and needed a mechanically compatible replacement.

retrofit instead of redesignDecision
Initial situation
Why a catalogue-only answer would not have been enough.
The machine should not be redesigned. Installation dimensions, mounting points, stroke and electrical interface had to be retained or adapted clearly.
Result
The system could continue operating with manageable risk without triggering a complete redesign of the machine.
Building blocks in the project
Proven principles, adapted to load case and interface.
The product ranges remain technical starting points. What matters is how spindle, motor, protection class, sensors, mounting and service access work together in the actual project.
Next step
Your project can often be assessed with a few technical details.
Helpful inputs include force, stroke, speed, installation space, environment, voltage, control, quantity and existing drawings or photos of the interface.
