How do I prevent overloading a linear actuator?

To prevent overloading: Choose the right load capacity: Select an actuator with a load rating higher than your maximum load to provide a safety margin. Use limit switches: Most actuators come with built-in limit switches to prevent overextension or retraction. Install overload protection: Overload protection systems (e.g., current limiters) will shut down the actuator if it exceeds the maximum current draw.

What is backdriving in linear actuators, and how can it be prevented?

Backdriving occurs when an external force causes the actuator to move when it’s not powered. This happens in systems with ball screws due to their low friction. To prevent backdriving: Use a brake: Mechanical or electric brakes can hold the actuator in position when not powered. Choose a self-locking mechanism: Lead screw actuators are naturally self-locking and prevent backdriving.

Can linear actuators be synchronized?

Yes, multiple linear actuators can be synchronized for applications that require coordinated movement, such as lifting platforms or doors. Synchronization is achieved by using controllers or feedback systems that ensure each actuator moves at the same rate and reaches the same position.

What are some common issues with linear actuators?

Common issues include: Jamming or Sticking: Can be caused by misalignment, dirt accumulation, or mechanical wear. Overheating: May occur if the actuator is used beyond its rated duty cycle. Backlash: Looseness in the screw or gear mechanisms, causing reduced precision. Electrical failures: Issues with wiring or motor components leading to intermittent or complete failure.
