Linear Actuators with Push Rod or Open Spindle
Linear actuators convert rotary motion into linear motion. A distinction can be made between linear drives with push rod and actuators with open spindle. While a linear actuator with an open spindle offers a virtually unlimited stroke, linear actuators with a push rod provide a relatively more compact footprint, since the push rod retracts completely inside the actuator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Linear actuators with push rods offer a compact footprint, as the spindle is completely hidden inside the housing. Actuators with open spindles, on the other hand, allow virtually unlimited strokes. The choice depends on your application requirements.
TEA offers linear actuators with strokes up to 500 mm and forces up to 10 kN. This range covers most industrial applications. For special requirements, we offer custom solutions.
