Nowadays linear motion can be achieved in many different ways, traditional and new. Based on this, it is of great importance to know the advantages and disadvantages of different technologies in use. In this paper, traditional pneumatic and mechanical linear actuators are compared with the new linear motor technologies, which are used in mechatronic devices. Differences between various linear actuator types are studied, and a discussion is presented regarding their characteristics.
