WHY DO MANUFACTURES USE ROTATING ACTUATORS?

Hi, well first off rotating actuators can be placed in small places to
perform their task. They can be set from 180 degrees of rotation to 1
degree or( zero movement). They are widely used in "pick and place"
automation and come in all different sizes. I also believe
manufactures use them because they seem to last longer if they are
set-up right other then linear actuators.
