How Does a Linear Actuator work?
The Main Structure: An electric linear actuator consists of a DC motor, a series of gear (Reduction gear), two limit switches and a Lead screw including a nut. The Linear Actuators'enclosures: Linear Actuators have different IP ratings. The lower the number the lower the protection is. IP-54 offers basic protection such as dust, and a higher IP-65 rating offers a water proof protection and ideal for outdoor use. Linear Actuator Works: An electric linear actuator is a device that converts the rotational motion of a motor into linear motion. This will provide both push and pull movements via the main extending shaft on the Actuator. This pushing and pulling action makes it possible to lift, drop, slide, adjust, tilt, push or pull things, simply by pushing a button. Stroke Control Device: The gear on the DC motor drives a series of gear (Reduction gear) to rotate, so that push and pull movements via the main extending shaft on the Actuator. When it reaches the maximum stroke...
