Sometimes, you might find yourself in a dilemma when choosing an actuator brand. It usually comes down to price or quality – and if you’re a machine builder or end-user, both matter.

Cheaper solutions often fall short on performance, and alternatively, higher-cost solutions go beyond your budget. But you don’t have to sacrifice performance or cost with PHD’s Optimax^® line of actuators.
 

1.  Life expectancy isn’t enough

When an actuator fails, it’s typically at the most inopportune time. Other situations might involve a costly preventative maintenance schedule that consumes critical manpower, time, and money.

Optimax products are designed to give you longer life than other replacement actuators. All Optimax actuators are bench tested and achieve longer life than cataloged specs.

2.  Long lead times are costing you

You might find yourself continuously ordering a replacement actuator with long lead times – sometimes eight weeks or longer! And when a machine is down, you needed it yesterday.

PHD has some of the best delivery times in the industry – we can ship in three working days. 

3.  You get what you pay for – or do you?

Sure, some cost-effective actuators save on your budget, but short life expectancies and lead-times end up costing you in the long run. The cost just doesn’t cut it anymore, and as it turns out, PHD’s Optimax line can offer better performance for the same or better price point.

Optimax actuators are typically available at less cost than other brands. Please contact your local distributor for pricing.

4.  Drop-in requirements leave you feeling stuck

You wish you could switch, but you’re limited by your configuration and a retrofit could be costly. No need to worry – PHD Optimax actuators are available in many sizes to meet global drop-in standards.

5.  You need service and support

Sometimes all you need is some assistance, and finding it can be challenging because the supplier doesn’t have the customer service capabilities you require.

All PHD products are supported by a global distributor network that provide you with exceptional service, consulting, design, and fulfillment.

6.  Continuously replacing the same components just doesn’t make sense

In some cases, you just have to go back to the drawing board and start over. As a leading automation manufacturer for nearly 60 years, PHD also offers a broad range of traditional products that are built-to-order with options of your choice. PHD can also design and build unique solutions based on your requirements .
