Linear actuators translate rotary motion to linear motion. They have the same features and similar applications as rotary units. This actuator configuration is used to control linear motion. It utilizes high performance DC motors coupled to high efficiency gearing. A ball screw or lead screw / nut assembly is typically used to translate the rotary to linear motion. It typically integrates a position transducer and fail safe brake in a robust structural design. Moog Components Group can couple the actuator with position loop servo control electronics. We can also offer the actuator with redundancy through the motor and feedback device.
