ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATORS

Linear actuators are electromechanical devices that convert rotary motion from an electric motor into controlled linear movement, allowing machines to push, pull, lift, or position loads with high accuracy. Inside the actuator, motor torque is transmitted through a gearbox and mechanical drive system to produce linear force, while guided housings and internal bearings maintain alignment and load stability across the full stroke.

Electronic feedback and control elements enable precise positioning and repeatable motion, making electric linear actuators and electromechanical actuators a reliable solution for modern automated systems. These actuators are widely used in medical equipment, food processing, packaging machinery, and OEM applications where clean operation, efficiency, and precise control are required.

Compared to pneumatic actuators and hydraulic actuators, electric actuators offer cleaner operation and higher efficiency. They also provide precise positioning and easier system integration, making them ideal for modern automation.

Motion Control Products supplies a wide range of linear actuators and electric actuators across the UK and Ireland. Our actuators are engineered to deliver high performance, flexible configurations, and long service life, offering a strong alternative to conventional actuator solutions on the market.

Our range includes both rod-style and rodless electric linear actuators. These are available in screw-driven or belt-driven designs, with multiple bearing options and stroke lengths. These electromechanical linear actuators are well suited to applications that require controlled push-and-pull force and repeatable movement.

We also supply compact and miniature linear actuators, including 12V linear actuators and 24V linear actuators. These are ideal for space-restricted designs and mobile equipment. Typical applications include window actuation, cleaning equipment, and medical devices.

For applications that require force feedback, we offer electric actuators with load cells. These allow accurate force measurement and closed-loop control. They are commonly used in test rigs, robots, and precision automation systems.

In hygiene-critical environments, our stainless steel electric linear actuator solutions provide an effective alternative to hydraulic actuators. They remove the risk of oil leakages and offer high IP-rated protection for wash-down and food processing areas.

Compared with traditional pneumatic actuators, electric and electromechanical actuator systems require less maintenance. They also deliver better energy efficiency and accurate electronic control.

With a wide selection of types of actuators, from compact electric actuators to heavy-duty industrial linear actuators, Motion Control Products delivers reliable motion control solutions for high-demand applications.

Compact Linear Actuators

Our 12/24 VDC leadscrew linear actuators integrate a motor, gearbox, and leadscrew to convert rotary motion into linear motion. They can be stopped at any point during operation; however, the rated maximum holding force must be considered. The duty cycle should not exceed 10%, as exceeding this limit will shorten the actuator’s service life.

Most G-series actuators are available with or without limit switches; without them, an external stop method is required. Control options support AC, DC, or battery power, making these actuators suitable for caravan movers, doors and windows, auto wheelchairs, and smart-home furniture.

Economic Linear Actuators

Our single axis economic industrial linear actuators utilise a combination of a motor-driven ballscrew or belt and linear guideway systems. They are compact and lightweight and can be customised or easily transformed into a multi-axis system robot with X, Y, Z axis in a variation of stroke lengths. With the option of protection grades IP55 and IP56, the range can be used in harsh environment or clean room applications, so the option for positive pressuring the actuators is available.
