ASK THE EXPERTS: HOW DOES A LINEAR ACTUATOR WORK?

See All Videos/Webinars
Video thumbnail

In this episode of Ask the Experts, the Kyntronics team explains how linear actuators work by briefly comparing common technologies: electromechanical screw-driven actuators, traditional hydraulics and pneumatics, and hybrid linear actuators.

Key Takeaways:

  • Linear actuators convert rotary motion into linear motion
  • Screw-driven electric actuators rely on mechanical contact and wear out over time
  • Hydraulic actuators are powerful but high maintenance and energy inefficient
  • Hybrid linear actuators deliver power, precision, and reliability without hoses, leaks, or high maintenance
