How Linear Actuators Work & What They Are
The linear actuator is a device that can convert rotary motion into precise linear motion. Through its own characteristics, it can carry equipment or itself to perform translation, up and down motion to achieve certain operational requirements. With the gradual development of modern automation and today's demand for mechanical operations, linear actuators are playing a key role. What is a Linear Actuator? Linear actuators, also known as “linear motors” or “electric cylinders”, are used as power drive ......

Ball and Screw Actuator: Evaluation of Accuracy and Precision
Ball and screw actuators are a cornerstone in the field of precision motion control for machines due to their superior accuracy and precision. Commonly referred to as "ball screws" or "linear screws", they have even changed the production model of factory machine tools, automation systems, and even aerospace applications. The Fundamentals of ball and screw actuator The basic principle of ball and screw actuators is to combine a simple screw mechanism with rolling elements that require extremely high a......

Ball Screw Actuators vs. Hydraulic Cylinders: A Guide to How They Work
Fig. 1 A picture of a High Precision Linear Actuator Every motion system comes down to one key question: what’s the best way to move a load in a straight line? For most industries, that answer usually narrows to two options—a linear actuator or a hydraulic cylinder. Both provide reliable push-and-pull force, but the way they work and the results they deliver are far from identical. A ball screw linear actuator brings precision, programmability, and clean operation, making it a favorite for robotics, m......
