Product type
Linear actuators are devices that create motion in a straight line, as opposed to the circular motion of a rotary actuator. They are typically made from materials such as aluminum, steel, or plastic, and operate using various mechanisms including electric motors, pneumatic systems, or hydraulic systems. Linear actuators are commonly used in automation applications where precise positioning is required, such as in manufacturing, robotics, and material handling.
| Stroke length | Typically ranges from a few millimeters to several meters |
| Load capacity | Can handle loads from a few grams to several tons |
| Power source | Electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic |
| Speed | Varies from 1 mm/s to over 500 mm/s depending on the model |
| Control type | Can be controlled via manual, remote, or automated systems |
| Operating temperature | Typically from -20┬░C to 80┬░C |
When selecting a linear actuator, consider the required stroke length and load capacity for your specific application. It's also important to specify the power source that best fits your system, whether it be electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic. Additionally, inquire about the speed and control options that suit your needs. Certifications such as IP ratings for environmental resistance may also be relevant depending on the application. Always provide the expected quantities for better pricing.
