  • What are linear actuators?

    Linear actuators are versatile devices that convert rotary motion into linear motion. Linear actuators come in three forms – electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic – each offering different performance levels based on application requirements.

  • What are linear actuators used for?

    Linear actuators are devices used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. They’re frequently utilized in industrial automation, robotics, and medical and aerospace systems. Electricity, pneumatics, or hydraulics can power linear actuators.

  • What are the three basic types of linear actuators?

    Linear actuators come in three primary forms – electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic - each offering different performance levels based on application requirements.

  • What are the most common types of linear actuators?

    The most common types of linear actuators are hydraulic cylinders and push-pull solenoids. Both are commonly used in construction.

  • How much weight can a linear actuator lift?

    Electric linear actuators can lift several hundred kilograms depending on size and design.

  • Are linear actuators back-drivable?

    Linear actuators are back-drivable, meaning they can move in both directions when power is applied or removed from them. This function allows for precise control of position without additional motors or brakes.

  • Does a linear actuator need a motor?

    Linear actuators have a motor, gears, worm, and tube that works as a motion mechanism.
