Pneumatic Actuators vs Electric Actuators: What is the difference between a pneumatic and electric linear actuator?Which is Better?

Posted by CaryRS on

In the production process of various industries, the actuator is an indispensable machine. Usually, it can be divided into two categories according to the application environment and application industry, that is, electric linear actuators and pneumatic linear actuators. The functions are almost the same, but there is a big difference in comparison from other aspects. What's an linear actuator?A "linear actuator" is an actuator that can either push with a thrust force or carry a load linearly to specific positions. While the structures are similar, the differences in actuators start with their source of power, which can be hydraulic (fluid),...

How to Achieve Synchronized Motion of Linear Actuators?

Posted by CaryRS on

If you want to use multiple linear actuators to raise and lower an equipment, for example two or four electric actuators. Since the high speed DC motors in electric actuators cannot run at exactly the same speed, so the movement speed of the electric actuator will also be different. When multiple electric actuators work at the same time, their actual speeds cannot be exactly the same. In this case, we can use a synchronous controller to operate multiple linear actuators to rise or fall synchronously. They work completely in sync without any difference. Application: Mainly used for doors, windows, cellars,...

How to choose the suitable linear actuator based on the weight of the trapdoor?

Posted by CaryRS on

To open trapdoors of different weights, it is necessary to select a linear actuator with suitable thrust, stroke and speed. The picture below is a trapdoor installed horizontally with a length and width of 80 cm. Its weight is 40kg.Choose the suitable stroke: We recommend that you install the bottom and head of the linear actuator at a distance of about 40cm vertically and horizontally from the fulcrum of the trapdoor. In this way, the initial installation distance between the head and the bottom of the linear actuator can be calculated to be 57CM. When the trapdoor is opened 90...

Use a slide controller with a slide potentiometer to control the stroke of the linear actuator.

Posted by CaryRS on

The linear actuator slide controller with slide potentiometer is used to control to control the travel of 12V electric linear actuators. It comes with travel control knob switch and learning button and external 10K sliding potentiometer. It is suitable for linear actuators type A2 with internal potentiometer. The operation of linear actuator with controller : Toggle the toggle switch to the right, which means the linear actuator is controlled by the knob switch. Toggle the toggle switch to the left, which means the linear actuator is controlled by the slide potentiometer. 1) The operation by the knob switch: Turn the...

Application scenarios of electric linear actuators

Posted by SYFX on

Medical technology Medical technology exists in hospitals that put in place mechanical gantries to move the equipment around and control motion with remote controls. For example, a gantry system can be used to move an MRI machine with the push of a button in the medical industry, actuators are used to control mechanical systems like surgical tools or manipulators. This makes it possible for surgeons to perform more precise motions. Medical devices also use electronic actuators to perform tasks like opening and closing valves.   Automotive Automotive actuators control the movements that occur in cars. They can also control other...
