So the big question is how does a linear actuator work the linear motion is created by using a screw or lead scew as they are more correctly called.
Electric linear actuator how it works.
A linear actuator is a piece of equipment that turns rotational motion into linear motion through the application of linear force.
A linear actuator turns the input motion into pushing and pulling movements also known as linear movements.
The screw turns either clockwise or counter clock wise and this causes the shaft which is basically a nut on the screw to move up and down the screw as the screw turns.
These are the two most important electric linear actuator parts.
The basic working principle of electric linear actuators is to convert the rotary motion into a linear motion.
This conversion of motion is done with the help of a gearbox and a lead screw.
