FAQ:

Q: Can linear actuators be moved manually?

A: The T-LA Series Miniature Linear Actuators with Built-in Controllers features a control knob that can be operated manually, allowing the linear actuator to be moved at a constant speed. The product’s multiple units can be controlled and daisy-chained through a serial port without the need for an additional hardware.

Q: What is a 12 volt linear actuator?

A: As the name implies, a 12 volt linear actuator includes a 12 volt DC motor , integrated into or tightly coupled with the actuator body. 12 volt actuators are driven almost exclusively by one of two mechanisms – a ball screw or a lead screw.

Q: How does an electrical linear actuator work?

A: An electric linear actuator is a device that converts the rotational motion of a motor into linear motion – that is push and pull movements. This way it is possible to lift, adjust, tilt, push or pull heavy or hard-to-reach objects, simply by pushing a button.

Q: What is a Lego linear actuator?

A: LEGO has recently come out with a new linear actuator piece as part of their new Power Function sets. The new actuators have a movement range of 5 studs, or about 1.6 in (4cm), which correspond to 26 full revolutions of the input shaft. The actuators also have a built in clutch mechanism to prevent damage from over-extension.
