Founded in 1980, E•DRIVE Design, Inc. initially developed a wide variety of heavy duty ball screw linear actuators, targeting the machine tool retrofit market. Thus, they established their guiding principles of conservative design, rugged construction, long life, and high precision.

Over the years their business has grown based on their philosophy of design flexibility and rapid response to customers' needs. As the machine tool market declined, their unique steel construction and long life have attracted new markets, namely factory automation, and more specifically the replacement for hydraulic and pneumatic linear actuators. Business has continued to grow as the demands for improved control over linear motion have increased. E-Drive have "standardized" product lines to facilitate national distribution.

Since its' inception, E•DRIVE customers have enjoyed an unsurpassed commitment to superior quality, integrity, and customer service.
