What Are The Functions And Advantages Of Miniature Linear Actuators

Since the performance of electric actuators is superior to hydraulic and pneumatic in many applications, Jointway Leader actuators can provide you with smooth and trouble-free transitions.

Replacement of the Jointway Leader linear actuator is very simple, and the long-term benefits have been proven, including a smaller component footprint; better control and accuracy; reduced maintenance costs; energy costs and noise; and more environmental sustainability.

In addition, Jointway Leader linear actuator can communicate with the machine's electronic control unit (ECU), reducing the need for multiple single-function controllers. These miniature linear actuators can accept commands and provide status information in return, such as position and speed, as well as safety-relevant data such as load or temperature.

Better control

Electric actuators operate with low force, reducing operator workload

Joystick or remote control enables multiple motions, increasing production and improving operator safety

Various digital and analog feedback options

Low voltage switch option to interface with programmable PC/PLC controller

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for variable speed control

Higher precision

better positioning

better repeatability

Immediate command response time (as opposed to hydraulic/pneumatic delay)

Reduce maintenance

No pumps, valves, or hoses, total parts reduction

Self-contained units eliminate access requirements for location flexibility

No need to resize or change to add components

Travel limit switches for extended life

No maintenance fluids, no leaks to repair

Lower overall system cost

Longer component life

Redundancy through manual overloading

Battery powered, no parasitic power consumption, no system upgrades required

Maintaining position requires no pump operation or current draw as electricity is only consumed when the load is moved

Less noise

No pumps, air pressure, or fluids means smooth, quiet operation

No sound when the cylinder is not moving the load

Clean environment

Less total power is required to move the load

Never needs liquids, chemicals, or solvents: no environmental contamination or spills

Compact design is easier to manufacture

Regional manufacturing reduces carbon footprint
