Compared to hydraulic and pneumatic models, they have higher energy efficiency. This means that they require less energy than hydraulic and pneumatic devices to do the same work. Another advantage is quiet operation, so the actuators can be successfully used in environments where a certain noise level cannot be exceeded. The widespread use of electric linear actuators is due to, among other things. Of minimal maintenance. Not having to change filters and hydraulic fluid reduces operating costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Other properties<\/h3>\n<p>With no risk of fluid leakage, electric actuators are considered safe to use. In addition, they do not pose a potential threat to the environment and at the same time are versatile. They can be used in both small home appliances and powerful industrial machines. Unlike hydraulic systems, they are easy and quick to install. The different actuator models differ from each other, among other things. supply voltage. A sizable group are models powered by 12 V DC.

This value determines the maximum force that the actuator can generate during operation. The lifting capacity parameter is mostly given by manufacturers in kilograms and Niutons.<\/p>\n<p>Another is stroke, or range of motion. This feature determines the length to which the actuator piston can move. In addition to length, the speed of movement is also important. The next parameter determines the speed at which the piston moves. Mostly, the higher the speed, the lower the lifting capacity. In precision systems, positioning accuracy is extremely important. This parameter determines the precision with which the actuator can place the object in the programmed location.
