Electric actuators have become indispensable components in a wide range of industries, playing a crucial role in modern automation and control systems. From industrial manufacturing to the automotive sector and even in household automation, electric actuators are used to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, offering enhanced precision, efficiency, and reliability. This article delves into the various types, working principles, and applications of electric actuators, shedding light on their growing importance in contemporary technological advancements.

    What is an Electric Actuator?

    An electric actuator is a mechanical device that uses electric energy to create motion. The primary function of an electric actuator is to move or control a mechanism or system, typically through rotary or linear motion. These actuators are powered by electric motors, which are controlled either manually or via automated systems. Depending on the specific need, electric actuators can be designed for either rotational motion (rotary actuators) or linear motion (linear actuators).
