Linear Actuators

Linear actuators are essentially an electric (often DC) motor that translates rotational movement into linear motion.  This is usually done by turning a lead screw that pushes a drive nut up and down as the lead screw turns.

A shaft is conencted to the drive nut so that the protruding shaft moves forward and back as the lead screw turns.

Here’s the best source for linear actuators on the web.
