Linear Electric Actuators

A linear electric actuator is a device that works like an electric muscle for machines. It takes electricity and turns it into simple, straight-line pushing or pulling movements.
Here is the simple breakdown:
• Electric Power In: You give it electricity, usually from a battery or wall outlet.
• Motor Spins: An internal electric motor starts to spin around (rotary motion), just like in a fan or a toy car.
• Converts Motion: This spinning power is sent to a threaded rod (like a screw). A nut sits on this rod and is forced to move along it in a straight line.
• Pushes or Pulls: As the nut moves, an attached rod (or tube) extends or retracts to push, pull, lift, or lower something—like a car window, a hospital bed, or a robot arm.
In short, a linear electric actuator uses a motor and a screw mechanism to create controlled, precise straight-line motion, allowing machines to move things with a simple push of a button.
