Linear Actuators: An Essential Tool for Precise Control

Posted by CaryRS on

Linear actuators are an integral part of the field of automation control, and they are widely used in various machines and equipment to achieve accurate position control and speed control. The principle of linear actuator A linear actuator is a mechanism that converts electrical signals into linear motion. Their working principle is based on the basic principle of electromagnetic field, which converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion through electromagnetic force or motor. Linear actuators can accurately control the speed, position and direction of motion, enabling high-precision position control and speed control. Classification of linear actuators Electric...

Pneumatic Actuators vs Electric Actuators: What is the difference between a pneumatic and electric linear actuator?Which is Better?

Posted by CaryRS on

In the production process of various industries, the actuator is an indispensable machine. Usually, it can be divided into two categories according to the application environment and application industry, that is, electric linear actuators and pneumatic linear actuators. The functions are almost the same, but there is a big difference in comparison from other aspects. What's an linear actuator?A "linear actuator" is an actuator that can either push with a thrust force or carry a load linearly to specific positions. While the structures are similar, the differences in actuators start with their source of power, which can be hydraulic (fluid),...
