2024-05-08


The main components of a linear actuator include:

Motor (in electric actuators): Drives the motion.
Lead Screw or Ball Screw: Converts the motor’s rotation into linear movement.
Nut: Mounted on the lead screw, moves along the screw as it rotates.
Actuator Rod: Extends or retracts to provide the required motion.
Housing: Encloses the internal components for protection.
Limit Switches: Prevent overextension or retraction by automatically stopping the motor.
