Linear actuators create a straight line motion and have been designed to withstand a range of operating conditions.

Actuators work by converting energy produced by an electric motor into torque which then moves a mechanism. The control system of an actuator can be controlled mechanically, electrically, software driven or operated by a human.

Unlike pneumatic and hydraulic actuators electric actuators commonly have excellent duty cycles. The duty cycle refers to the amount of time an actuator can be run before it needs to cool down. If the duty cycle is exceeded it can lead to power loss, overheating and eventual burnout of the motor.

• Actuation type - Stepper drive, Lead screw, Electric, Belt driven, DC motor driven
• Input Voltage - 12 to 24VDC
• Stroke - 10mm, 50mm, 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 500mm, etc.
