Introduction to Linear Actuator
A linear actuator is a device that creates linear motion, or motion in a straight line. This is different from the circular motion of a conventional electric motor.
Linear actuators can be used for lifting, dropping, sliding, or tilting machines or materials. They provide efficient and maintenance-free motion control.
Linear actuators can be powered by electric AC and DC motors, or by hydraulics and pneumatics. They can be used with simple wiring, and are easy to handle because they don't use hydraulics or pneumatics.
Product Advantages
● Linear Actuator has smooth movement with uncompromising design.
● Linear Actuator is a reliable and durable actuator system that is easy to install.
● The Linear Actuator actuator has low-noise and low standby power consumption.
● Linear Actuator Servo motors allow the motor to exchange information with and to be controlled by an external control system.
Types of Linear Actuator
The linear actuator produced by our company include the following types:
● Electric Linear Actuator
An electric linear actuator is a device that converts a motor's rotary motion into linear motion. It's made up of a motor, gears, and a worm and tube motion mechanism. The actuator uses a DC or AC motor, gears, and a lead screw to push the main rod shaft.
Electric linear actuators are often used when applications require lifting, pulling, pushing, or tilting with force. They're ideal for applications that require simple, safe, and clean movement with smooth motion control and accurate precision.
● Heavy Duty Linear Actuator
Heavy duty linear actuators are used in industrial settings that require linear motion, such as automotive manufacturing, robotics, and food and beverage processing. They have a higher force capacity than other actuators, and are more precise and accurate.
Heavy duty linear actuators are made up of a DC motor and control devices, and a telescopic rod that moves in a straight line. They usually work with 12, 24, 36, or 48 volts DC voltage, and can be operated with a remote control switch kit.
● High Speed Linear Actuator
A high speed linear actuator's maximum speed can vary depending on its size, capacity, drive mechanism, and load. On average, high speed linear actuators have a maximum speed of 30–500 millimeters per second.
High Speed Linear Actuators are used in many industrial settings, including automotive manufacturing, process industries, food and beverage processing, material handling, and robotics.
● Mini Linear Actuator
A mini linear actuator is a small, electric actuator that uses a 12 volt DC motor. They are compact and can be used for home automation.
Mini Linear Actuators convert rotational motion into linear motion, which can be used for lifting, dropping, sliding, or tilting. They are ideal for applications that require tilting, lifting, pulling, or pushing with pounds of force.
● 24V Linear Actuator
A 24-volt linear actuator is a device that allows movement in a robot. They are a good option for demanding applications where an alternative to hydraulic or air cylinders is needed. 24 volt dc linear actuators draw a lower current than 12V actuators. Current reduction has a number of advantages, such as saving costs on wiring and electrics and reduced losses in a conductor.
● 12V Linear Actuator
A 12V linear actuator is a device that pushes or pulls something in a straight line. It converts rotational motion into linear motion to lift, lower, slide, or tilt materials or machines.
12V linear actuators are powered by 12 volt DC voltage sources. They are used when precise movement is required within a limited space and with lighter payloads. 12V linear actuators are compatible with various power sources, including batteries, making them ideal for remote or off-grid applications.

Working Principle of Linear Actuator
The working of the actuator starts with the rotor and the stator assemblies. These assemblies facilitate the primary and secondary workings of the motor.
01
Voltage is applied to the stator assembly, which acts as the primary workings. This voltage is then converted into a current. This current is shunted into the rotor assembly, which acts as the secondary workings.
02
The working of the rotor and stator assemblies, helps create a field, which facilitates motion.
03
The motion created by the motor is then passed to the cylinder. Here, cylinder interacts with the limit switch to convert this motion into a linear one.
04
The cylinder is turned by the gears, which helps promote the linear motion.
05
Component of Linear Actuator
Motor
This is one of the most important components of linear actuators, which actually makes the motion. A 12 volt DC motor is used, which interacts with other parts of the actuator to deliver the movement.
Limit Switch
This component controls the motion of the device. It stops the movement, when triggered.
DC Brushes
The current is conveyed between the stationary wires by the DC brushes. They are responsible for bringing the current into the actuators.
Lead Screw
The main role of lead screws is to convert the rotational motion into linear motion. They are attached in the cylinder, and travel up and down, which facilitates the linear motion.
Gears
They act as a connector between the motor and the lead screw, which helps them in a free movement.
Cylinder
The motion, which is created by the motor, makes the parts of the cylinder to move to and fro. The cylinder does not move itself, however, the parts inside it do.
Maintenance Tips for Linear Actuator
Here are some tips for maintaining linear actuators:
Regular maintenance: Perform regular maintenance checks. This includes checking the mounting bolts, nuts, washers, and screws for damage and tightness. You should also confirm the handwheel is operating correctly and that there is physical movement of the valve.
Lubrication: Most manufacturers emphasize the importance of proper lubrication. This can help increase the life of various components like nuts and bolts.
Operate below max rated force: For maximum lifespan, it's recommended to operate your actuator as far below the max rated force as possible. If you require a high force, consider moving up to a higher gearing ratio.
Reduce voltage: A simple way to lower the speed of a linear actuator is to reduce the voltage at which you drive it.
Use limit switches: You can try purchasing an external limit switch that, when depressed, will stop the actuator.
Precautions of Linear Actuator
Improper use of a linear actuator can lead to poor performance, danger to the operator, and damage to the actuator.
Here are some precautions for linear actuators:
Inspect before use: Check that the power supply line and signal lines are not damaged or loose. Also, make sure the actuator, cylinder, controller, and driver are not mounted loosely.
Avoid magnetic objects: Magnetic objects placed close to the actuator can cause it to operate suddenly, which can be dangerous and damage equipment.
Avoid side loading: Do not side load the actuator.
Use within limits: Only use the actuator within the specified working limits.
Stop immediately: Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed.
Avoid hard objects: Avoid using hard objects to impact valve electric actuators.
