Linear Hydraulic Actuators

A linear hydraulic actuator is a powerful machine that moves things in a straight line using the force of pressurized liquid (usually oil).
Here is the simple breakdown of what it does:
• Liquid Power: It is powered by non-compressible oil that is pumped at high pressure into a chamber.
• Piston in a Tube: Like a pneumatic actuator, it’s a cylinder with a sliding rod (piston) inside.
• Massive Strength: Because liquids can't be compressed like air, hydraulic systems can generate immense pushing and pulling forces—far more than pneumatic or electric systems of the same size.
• Heavy-Duty Use: This power is essential for massive jobs where strength is key, such as lifting excavator arms, operating aircraft landing gear, or pushing heavy steel in a factory press.
In short, a linear hydraulic actuator is a robust cylinder that uses high-pressure oil to generate extreme power, pushing and pulling heavy loads in a straight line.
