scope:

Possible applications for this standard include for example linear actuators, linear piston cylinders, motor-driven threaded spindles, screw-jack and var-iable speed gear units for road-making and earthmoving machines, hydraulic power lift mechanisms for agricultural machinery, in particular for tractormounted equipment, hydraulic drives for presses, sheet-shearing machines, edging and wire-bending machines as well as their ancillary drives [4; 5]. Regulated linear drives are becoming increasingly important. The linearity of the transfer function and the presence or absence of a dead-point position as blocking point can then influence requirements.
