Linear Actuator

Linear actuator for precise positioning in automated friction testing systems

Component Specifications

Definition
A linear actuator is an electro-mechanical device that converts rotational motion from a motor into precise linear displacement, used in automated beverage container friction testing systems to apply controlled force and movement during testing procedures.
Working Principle
Operates through a motor-driven mechanism (typically ball screw, lead screw, or belt drive) that converts rotary motion into linear motion, with position feedback from encoders or sensors ensuring accurate displacement control for friction testing applications.
Materials
Housing: Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6), Lead screw: Stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), Ball screw: Chrome steel (GCR15), Bearings: Carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coating, Seals: Nitrile rubber or polyurethane
