Electric Linear Actuators
An electric linear actuator converts electrical drive into translational motion through a motor and transmission or a direct electromagnetic mechanism.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Electric Linear Actuators are electrically powered, mechanical devices consisting of motors, linear guides, and drive mechanisms, which are used to convert electrical energy into linear displacement through mechanical transmission, electro-magnetism, or thermal expansion to provide straight line push/pull motion. Key specifications include the intended application, drive type, motor type, the mounting configuration, as well as other physical dimensions and electrical characteristics. Electric linear actuators are used primarily in automation applications when a machine component, tool, etc. requires a controlled movement to a particular position. They are used in a wide range of industries where linear positioning is needed. The actuators are driven by several means including ball or lead screws, belts, or voice coils, among others. Typical applications include opening and closing dampers, locking doors, braking machine motions, etc.
Screw-driven and direct-drive designs have different holding, efficiency and response characteristics; the technology must be identified before comparing ratings.
What turns activity into demand
A motion requirement translates into stroke, load direction, speed, duty cycle and safe load retention. Guides, mountings and controls remain part of the complete mechanism.
The commercial boundary
An actuator rating applies under specified alignment and duty. A motor voltage or nominal thrust alone cannot define holding, precision or fault behaviour.
What holds the load when power is removed?
Screw-driven and direct-drive designs have different holding, efficiency and response characteristics; the technology must be identified before comparing ratings.
