An electric actuator is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, typically to automate physical systems. The widespread use of electric actuators has revolutionized various sectors, particularly in industrial automation, robotics, aerospace, and automotive applications. By enabling precise control and efficient operation, electric actuators have become essential components in systems that require automation, movement, or mechanical force.

    The Mechanism Behind Electric Actuators

    Electric actuators typically consist of three main components： an electric motor, a transmission system, and a mechanical element. The electric motor serves as the heart of the actuator, converting electrical energy into rotational motion. This rotation is then transmitted through a gear mechanism that adjusts the speed and torque output to match the application’s requirements. Finally, the mechanical element—whether it’s a linear actuator or a rotary actuator—performs the desired motion.
