I am not too familiar with Roller Screws, are they a proven and reliable actuator?
Yes to both questions: Roller Screws have been produced since the early 1950's and their utmost reliability is the reason why they are prefered when repair or replacement is very costly or even impossible, such as in Space or Nuclear power plants or even Medical Prosthetics.

I was just quoted a roller screw: It was more than 2x the price I pay for my Ball Screw: How come?
It is correct that the upfront cost of roller screws is quite often much higher, but you should look to the lifetime cost which is the real investment cost.

I have been using Hydraulic actuators for many years. I am intrigued: Should I consider Roller Screws?
Definitely! Roller Screws Actuators are lighter: They have a smaller footprint and a larger power density and their maintenance costs are very minimal. Just a small caveat: Hydraulic actuators handle compressive load better than tension loads: Roller Screws behave just the opposite way! We would gladly help you to shift.
