Find out what part motors, brakes and housing play in electric actuators

To ensure a long service life for the actuator, you need to have the right motor. For many powerful actuators, a reliable brake system is also a requirement. And finally, the housing covering the two is crucial. At LINAK® Actuator Academy™, you can learn more about optimal motor efficiency, what type of brakes you need, and the advantages of aluminium and plastic housings, respectively. The DC motor is one of the three cornerstones of any electric linear actuator – the others being the spindle and the gears. For maximum output and full performance of your actuator, it is important that you know what motor is the right one for the job that needs to be done. For heavy-duty industrial machinery, it might also be important to learn what type of brake system your actuator is born with, in order to avoid personal injury or damage to equipment. Also, the actuator housing plays a key role – especially if working in harsh environments. So, get ready! Take a tour through the three important aspects of electric actuators with our expert Hunter. DC motors – the actuator engine Learn more about how DC motors work inside a modern industrial actuator and what factors to consider in order to minimise loss of energy efficiency.
