Electric Linear Actuator

  • Q What voltage is a linear actuator?

    A Understanding voltage requirements
    Todly linear actuators are 12V units with the exception of a few 24V options. All the power supplies we offer are only rated for 12V / 24V depends on your applications.
  • Q Do linear actuators push and pull?

    A A linear actuator is a machine component that is designed to convert rotational motion from an electric motor into linear motion. These components are typically used for straight push / pull movements, although they can also be used for lifting and tilting.
  • Q How do you sync two linear actuators?

    A Position sensors are used for synchronizing Todly electric linear actuators.
    To obtain the synchronization of two electric linear actuators, it is possible to equip them with position sensors. These will provide feedback to the control box, which will adjust the speed of each device to operate the synchronized movement.
  • Q What determines the speed of an actuator?

    A Speed is primarily dependent on the linear drive mechanism: The limiting factor of a linear actuator's speed capability is typically the drive mechanism.
  • Q How does a linear actuator know when to stop?

    A Limit switches are electronic devices that define the ends of a linear actuator's stroke. Upon reaching either end of its stroke, the rod makes contact with the limit switch, which instantly turns off power to the motor, thus stopping the rod from traveling further and potentially damaging something.
  • Q What is the stroke of a electric linear actuator?

    A Stroke is the distance between the fully extended actuator and the fully retracted actuator – the maximum length of movement that the actuator can operate. Below is the picture showing the stroke of Todly linear actuator.

  • Q What type of mountings are available for Linear Actuators?

    A A linear actuator can be mounted using an end swing pin, front flange mount or side flange mount. Special mountings can be designed to suit applications. Todly electric actuators can also be mounted in any orientation.
  • Q What are the applications for an electric linear actuator?

    A Electric linear actuators find a wide range of applications in various industries and everyday systems due to their ability to provide controlled linear motion. Some of the key applications for electric linear actuators include:
    A. Home Automation: Electric linear actuators are used in smart homes to automate the movement of objects like motorized curtains, blinds, and windows, as well as adjustable furniture like TV lifts and height-adjustable desks.
    B. Greenhouses and Agriculture: Linear actuators are used in agricultural equipment and greenhouses to automate the movement of vents, shades, and irrigation systems.
    C. Ventilation and HVAC Systems: Electric linear actuators are used in ventilation systems to control air dampers and louvers, regulating airflow in buildings.
    D. Security and Access Control: Linear actuators are used in security systems for automated gates, barriers, and access control mechanisms.
    E. Medical Devices: Electric linear actuators are found in medical equipment like hospital beds, patient lifts, dental chairs, and adjustable examination tables, providing comfort and ease of operation.
  • Q How do I choose an electric linear actuator?

    A To choose the right electric linear actuator for windows, you must consider your window size, type and weight. Then Todly team will give you the professional suggestion on automatic window solutions.
  • Q What is a linear actuator?

    A A linear actuator is a mechanical device used to convert rotational motion into linear motion. It is designed to move an object in a straight line along a specific path. Todly linear actuators are commonly used in various applications across different industries, such as windows, smart home, furniture (like recliners, sofas).

  • Q How to choose a suitable electric linear actuator?

    A First, confirm you need slider model or tubular model. Then according to the voltage, push force, stroke, installation distance and speed, you can choose the suitable one.
  • Q Shall we use electric linear actuator on other field?

    A Yes, our electric linear actuator can be used on window, sofa, bed, solar system, car and so on.
  • Q Can you provide detailed technical data and drawing?

    A Yes, we can provide detailed technical data and drawing according to your demand.
