2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers , and in many other places where linear ...

3. Servomotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

   A servomotor (or servo motor or simply servo) [1] is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system. [1][2] It constitutes part of a servomechanism, and consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback and a controller (often a ...

4. Rigid chain actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator

   A rigid chain actuator, known variously as a linear chain actuator, push-pull chain actuator, electric chain actuator or column-forming chain actuator, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator used in window operating, push-pull material handling and lift applications. The actuator is a chain and pinion device that forms an articulated ...

5. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

   In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2][3][4] In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a ...

6. Rigid belt actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_belt_actuator

   A rigid belt actuator, also known as a push-pull belt actuator or zipper belt actuator, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator used in push-pull and lift applications. The actuator is a belt and pinion device that forms a telescoping beam or column member to transmit traction and thrust. Rigid belt actuators can move dynamic loads up to ...

7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Valve actuator. Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.
