INFOGRAPHIC: Accuracy and Repeatability in Linear Actuators

Separate, but related, concepts

Target 1

High Accuracy AND High Repeatability

Accuracy is the ability of a linear actuator to reach a commanded position. if an actuator is highly accurate, it will exhibit a high degree of repeatability as well. 

Target 2

High Repeatability, but Lower Accuracy

Rebeatability is the ability of a linear actuator to reach the same position time after time. Repeatability is often what's needed in an application rather than accuracy.
Target 3

Lower Accuracy and Lower Repeatability

There are applications where positioning tolerances are wider. In those instances lower degrees of accuracy and repeatability are acceptable.
