Re: What Are Actuators

they deliver motion on demand. want auto lambo doors? actuators can be correctly designed into the door to give the correct force at the correct angle to the pivot to open the door automatically after it has been unlatched. as one example.
as another you can use actuators to have a sliding amp rack or wrap around speakers such as on the Alpine show car.
actuators can be used along with memory circuts to remember seat configurations and move the seat to your likings automatically after someone else has driven your vehicle...
