A linear actuator turns the input motion into pushing and pulling movements also known as linear movements.
Electric linear actuator how it works.
The basic working principle of electric linear actuators is to convert the rotary motion into a linear motion.
The screw turns either clockwise or counter clock wise and this causes the shaft which is basically a nut on the screw to move up and down the screw as the screw turns.
A linear actuator is a piece of equipment that turns rotational motion into linear motion through the application of linear force.
The advantage of these actuators is that an operator gains complete control over an object.
This conversion of motion is done with the help of a gearbox and a lead screw.
This happens because a linear motor is modified in such a way as to the only move in linear directions rather than rotational ones.
