Standard Linear Actuator FAQs

What is a standard linear actuator?

A standard linear actuator is a device that converts rotary motion into linear motion, often used in applications requiring precise control over travel distance and stroke lengths.

What factors should be considered when selecting an electric actuator?

When selecting an electric actuator, consider the required operating voltage, load capacity, duty cycle, and dynamic speed requirements to ensure compatibility with your application.

How important is mounting hardware for actuators?

Mounting hardware is crucial for secure installation and efficient function, ensuring the actuator operates effectively under varying loads and dynamic conditions.

Can actuators be used for rotary motion?

While standard linear actuators primarily provide linear motion, different models or configurations can be integrated to facilitate rotary motion applications.

What role does a motor play in an actuator's performance?

The motor drives the actuator, affecting its speed, load capacity, and overall performance, making it vital to select one that aligns with your application's requirements.

What are the 4 types of linear actuators?

The four main types of linear actuators are mechanical actuators, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, and electric actuators. Each type uses different methods to convert energy into linear motion, suitable for various applications and environmental conditions.

What is the most common linear actuator?

The most common linear actuator is the electric actuator. It is widely used due to its precision, reliability, and efficiency in converting rotary motion to linear motion, making it ideal for a broad range of applications.
