Electric actuators are vital components in modern automation systems, providing a reliable means of converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. These devices are used in a wide range of industries, from industrial manufacturing to smart homes, due to their versatility and efficiency. In this article, we will explore the various types, working principles, applications, and advantages of electric actuators.

    What is an Electric Actuator?

    An electric actuator is a type of mechanical device that uses electric power to produce motion. It works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, which can then perform various functions such as opening or closing valves, controlling positions of gates, or even adjusting the angle of components. Electric actuators are typically powered by electric motors, which provide the necessary force to move the actuator’s mechanical components like gears, pistons, or threaded rods.
