Selection of the Right Linear Actuator

April 25, 2025
High-quality linear actuators are tiny powerhouses: Despite their compact size, they support high input speeds and, at the same time, deliver high output forces. When selecting a linear actuator, it is advisable to adopt a systematic approach and to precisely determine which model can deliver the required power and also reliably withstand power peaks.

In this tutorial, you are guided through five basic steps for linear actuator selection and how to determine the parameters required for calculating the drives.
