Linear actuators – electric linear drives

Linear actuators are electric drive systems that convert rotary motion to linear power and motion. The range includes models with strokes from 10 to 610 mm and forces between 42 and 10 000 N. Depending on the type, the actuators can be delivered with or without limit switches, Hall sensors, potentiometers, or encoders for accurate position control. They can also be customized as needed, for example, brackets, cabling, connectors, and stroke lengths. Read more about customizations and feel free to contact us for further information.

Function and basic properties of actuators – linear actuators

Linear actuators are based on an electric motor that drives a spindle via gear mechanics and creates linear motion. The technology provides high precision, good power transmission, and repeatable function.

  • High precision and stable operation
  • Force range from approx. 42 to 10 000 N
  • Stroke lengths between 10 and 610 mm
  • Easy control via DDLA/DDLS & HDL series

Screw options and performance for linear actuators

The combination of ACME and ball screws enables optimization for speed, power, or balance.

  • ACME & Ball screw options
  • High-power actuators – robust and powerful
  • IP-rated actuators for harsh environments

Performance values range from 42 to 10 000 N and speeds from 4.4 to 49 mm/s.

Customizations & connections for linear actuators

Custom brackets, stroke lengths, cabling, connectors, and sensors ensure optimal integration.

  • Custom brackets and stroke lengths
  • Customized cable connections & connectors
  • Choice of sensor type for feedback
  • EMC filtering if needed
