Rod-less and Rod-Style Inline Linear Electric Actuators for Versatile Operations

The role of an actuator as a motion creating component of a machine has evolved in all these years and manufacturers product cutting-edge solutions for catering to the real-life requirements in various industries.

Inline Electric Actuator


Industrial machinery, machine tools, computer peripherals, and various machines require an inline linear actuator for basic “mover” operations. From hydraulic to electromechanical actuators, a solid or compact construction ensures performance in that machinery.

In rod-less inline electric actuator made to specified instructions supports and guides the load throughout the stroke length with a relatively small footprint and adjustment within the actuator. Typically, the rod-style actuator would have a bigger body size and lengthy stroke for an extended shape. The industries can utilize different bearing or load-carrying designs for proper bending operations without causing excessive wear due to stress.

Buyers face the jeopardy when various conditions in association with mixing, matching and integrating components of a machine. This dilemma lightens the goal-perspective and requirements, presumably as a way to seek a direct solution. However, modern manufacturers should offer a walkthrough their machinations and develop solutions that buyers require for their core operations and aren’t confused with the component’s functioning, alignment, or integration.

The food & beverage industry seeking specific actuators for their operational needs can find IMA & ERD models with high-end Ingress Protection like IP67 and IP67K for preventing damages in hygiene, wash-down, and harsh environments. Similarly, other actuators with different IP ratings are available for various applications like automated door/window systems, home care appliances, etc.
