A Brief Introduction to Linear Actuators in Various Fields
Linear actuators convert a power source into linear motion. These actuators are used in several applications ranging from manufacturing to testing to recreational purposes etc. A device that converts a power source into linear motion is known as a linear actuator. Linear actuators are used in several applications ranging from manufacturing to testing to recreational purposes etc. This type of an actuator works in the exact opposite manner of that of an electrical motor that generates rotary motion.• The functions and usesThese devices are very useful in moving things either over short distances. For instance, the disk drive of a DVD player ejects with the help of an actuator that produces linear motion. These machines can be used at several different locations at home, in offices, in factories and machines. For instance,[url=http://www.moncleroutleto.co.uk]moncler outlet[/url], the slide-out steps of a recreational vehicle function with the help of such an actuator. Similarly, utility dump boxes can open and close if powered by this device. They are also used for sliding doors, moving solar panels, awnings, pop up television sets, sun roofs of cars and hundreds of other devices that need to move in a linear direction.• The fields of applicationJust as there are virtually no limits to where linear actuators can be used, there is no restriction on who can use them. For instance, students learning about mechanics in a college or laboratory can use them. On similar lines, manufacturers of medical equipment can put them to good use in the various life saving, test and monitoring products that they are constantly innovating. Hobbyists can also make good use of these devices to make their home highly automated. Even owners of commercial and recreational vehicles as well as owners of boats and ships can use actuators at more than one place in their respective vehicles or vessels.• Power sources and other detailsDid you know that even farmers can benefit from the use of a linear actuator in their various farming devices? In short, such actuators can help automate a number of tasks that would have to otherwise carried out manually. Before one starts researching further on the use of these useful devices, it is also useful to know a little bit about the sources of power that drive them. Typically, they are driven with the help of a power source that measures 12v or 24v. Linear Actuators can be easily attached to a power adaptor or a car/boat battery. These actuators are available in different forces and powers, and their power consumption is usually directly proportional to this very factor.Several people also tend to get confused between another similar device—the micro actuator. However, this type of an actuator is useful for moving objects that are less than one pound in weight. For anything more than this, you should opt for regular linear actuators. Before purchasing these devices,[url=http://www.moncleroutleto.co.uk]moncler sale[/url], be sure to study the drawings offered by your chosen manufacturer and choose sizes and dimensions that fit into your product or application.
