Linear Electric Actuators
An electric actuator is a device manufactured to create controlled, repetitive motion. They are frequently used in machine automation, robotics, printing, outdoor power equipment, and more. Actuators offer many benefits including energy efficiency, reliability, easy installation, and minimal maintenance.
Northern Tool’s selection offers linear actuators exclusively, which move objects forward and backward or up and down. Due to cost, demand for electric and battery-operated equipment has increased and, with it, the popularity of linear actuator systems surpassed hydraulic systems. Linear actuators can be used for a variety of applications when installed in outdoor power equipment including but not limited to steering and seat positioning as well as lifting and lowering mower decks and utility vehicle beds.
While browsing this selection of linear electric actuators, we recommend comparing maximum load, stroke length, and speed. Like many pieces of equipment, linear actuators are manufactured with different load capacities. A load capacity of 225 lbs. Or lower is considered standard while heavy duty applications will require an electric actuator with a load capacity equal to or greater than 600 lbs. In this selection, you will find actuators capable of moving loads between 27 and 1,100 lbs. Stroke length measures the distance an object can be moved by an actuator. Choose models with stroke lengths between 1 61/64 and 12 inches when browsing this selection. Finally, you will need to decide how quickly you need the movement to take place. This is called travel speed. Keep in mind that heavy duty actuators will move more slowly due to the load capacities they support.
Selecting the right actuator for you and your equipment should be easy so long as these three features are taken into consideration while shopping. Before checkout, be sure to browse our selection of actuator accessories which includes switches, brackets, extension cables, and control kits.
