Actuator Type




   Actuator Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Rod Type
 
     Linear actuators are used to create a controlled linear motion.  Rod Type linear actuators have a rod that extends and retracts, similar to the rod in a cylinder.  The load attaches to the end of the rod.
 
   Rodless
 
     Rodless linear actuators provide linear motion via a motor-driven ball screw, ACME screw, or belt drive assembly. They can also be driven by pneumatic or hydraulic drives. The actuator's load is attached to a fully supported carriage.
