Linear actuators discretely assist us in our daily lives, they can be found on vehicles, in homes, and in the workplace. The majority of them remain behind the scenes ensuring we are able to pull, push, lift, and tilt the world around us with ease. The agricultural industry historically has been dominated by the use of both hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, however, with the advancement of electric linear actuators, these tend to be the favor...

Get your truck ready for winter with a snowplow actuator! With the arrival of the winter season comes that pesky winter weather, most notably heavy snowfall. Snow can cause a great deal of frustration and stress when it comes to large amounts, blocking off roads and driveways for people everywhere.

An actuator is a type of transducer, a device that is capable of converting one form of energy into another. The energy may come from an electric current, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. A motor is an example of an actuator that transforms energy from electricity or fuel into the energy of circular motion. A linear actuator, on the other hand, converts the energy of rotary motion into linear motion. Piezoelectric actuators are an example of o...

An actuator is a fundamental piece of machinery that converts energy from a source of power into the energy of rotational motion. A more common name for an actuator is a motor. The energy for an actuator may come from chemical fuel, electricity or some other source. Linear actuators convert energy from rotational motion into linear motion. The simplest type of linear actuator is the humble screw. Here, the metabolic energy from the person hol...
