What is an electric actuator? How to choose the best electric actuator for you?

Electric linear actuators convert alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) electric motor rotation into linear motion. Linear motion is produced by a motor rotating the push rod's screw. Rotating the screw clockwise or counterclockwise allows the axis (basically the nut on the screw) to move up and down in a straight line, creating a push/pull effect on the load, allowing for precise and reliable linear motion. Electric actuators are widely used in automobiles, medical equipment, office furniture and other fields, providing efficient, reliable and energy-saving solutions.

 

*Performance parameters:

When choosing the right electric actuator you need to consider the following parameters:

1. Load capacity: Determine the maximum load that the push rod can bear based on application requirements to ensure that safety and reliability requirements are met.

2. Stroke length: Determine the linear stroke length required for the push rod to move in order to select a push rod of appropriate length.

3. Speed: Choose the appropriate push rod speed according to the application requirements to ensure that the material and structure of the push rod can effectively complete the task.

4. Duty cycle: The duty cycle determines the ratio of the equipment's on time and off time, and the application is quite variable. The duty cycle is necessary to determine the pushrod, its material, and its mechanical action. It can help the equipment have a better service life and reduce the wear and tear of mechanical parts or possible overheating.

5. Environmental requirements: For special environments or application scenarios, it is necessary to choose a putter with corrosion resistance, dustproof, waterproof and other characteristics.

 

*Control method:

Electric actuators can be realized by manual control, remote control or automatic control. Manual control is suitable for simple operations, remote control is suitable for scenarios that require remote operation, and automatic control is suitable for applications that require program control and automated operations.

 

* Purchasing suggestions:

1. Understand the application requirements: Before choosing an electric actuator, you must fully understand the application requirements, including load conditions, stroke length, work cycle requirements, etc., in order to choose the appropriate actuator.

2. Quality and reliability: Choose brands and models with higher quality and reliability to ensure the stability and durability of the putter in long-term use.

3. Safety considerations: According to the application environment and requirements, choose a push rod with safety protection measures, such as overload protection, overheating protection, etc.

4. Price comparison: When purchasing, refer to the quotes of different brands and suppliers, comprehensively consider price and performance, and choose an electric actuator with high cost performance.
