The Electric Linear Cylinders Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 760.4 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Electric linear cylinders are linear actuators that generate linear motion by converting electric energy into mechanical energy. They find wide application in automation equipment where precision linear motion is required. Their advantages over pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders include higher energy efficiency, noiseless operation, compact design and higher precision.

Market key trends:
Electric linear cylinders are increasingly being adopted in fields requiring mechantronics such as robotics, medical devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and 3D printers owing to their inherent advantages of noiseless and precise linear motion. Mechantronics refers to the integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and computing and its use is growing rapidly across industries to develop advanced automated machinery and devices. Within mechantronics, robotics is one of the major application areas driving the demand for electric linear cylinders. An estimated 306,000 industrial robots were shipped globally in 2021 as manufacturers automated more production processes using robots. Further, greater integration of electronics and automation in the medical device industry is propelling the use of electric linear actuators in equipment such as surgical robots, diagnostic imaging systems and prosthetics. Their noiseless operation and high precision of movement make them especially suitable for medical applications.
