Electric Actuators | Precise, Clean & Energy-Efficient Motion Control
Clean, quiet and accurate electric actuators that integrate easily with your control systems, with no hydraulic oil or compressed air needed.
What Is an Electric Actuator?
An electric actuator uses an electric motor to produce controlled linear or rotary motion. The motor drives a screw, gear or belt mechanism that moves a load to an exact position at a set speed and force.
Electric actuators need no pumps, hoses or compressors. They are cleaner, easier to install and simpler to control than fluid-power alternatives, which suits modern automated systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- High positioning accuracy: repeatable, programmable stroke, speed and force.
- Clean operation: no oil leaks or air consumption, so it suits food, pharma and cleanroom use.
- Energy efficient: draws power only when moving or holding a load.
- Low maintenance: fewer parts to service and no fluid to change.
- Quiet running: smooth operation with little noise.
- Easy integration: works with PLCs, drives and feedback devices such as encoders and limit switches.
- Flexible power options: 12/24 V DC, 110/230 V AC and 3-phase versions.
Types of Electric Actuators
| Type | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Linear actuators | Convert motor rotation into straight-line push/pull motion | Automation, lifting, positioning |
| Rotary actuators | Provide controlled rotation or part-turn motion | Indexing, robotics, turntables |
| Multi-turn valve actuators | Operate gate and globe valves | Water, power, oil & gas |
| Quarter-turn valve actuators | Operate ball, butterfly and plug valves | Process control, HVAC |
| Electric cylinders | Servo or stepper-driven ball-screw units | Presses, assembly, test rigs |
| Mini / micro actuators | Compact, low-force units | Medical, lab and small machines |
