Hey everyone, has anyone here gone through the switch from pneumatic to electric linear actuators in a food processing setup? A while back we had this older line running on air cylinders for pushing trays and sorting stuff, but the constant leaks and having to keep the compressor going were driving maintenance nuts. Plus during washdowns everything felt risky with potential air moisture issues sneaking in. Thinking electric might cut down on that mess and give better control for variable speeds, but I'm curious—what surprised you most when you actually made the change? Any gotchas with integration or hygiene regs that tripped you up?
