Linear Actuators
Linear actuators produce straight-line push and pull motion to open dampers, stroke valves, position gates and move loads. They come in electric, pneumatic and hydraulic versions, each suited to different speeds, forces and control needs.
Linear Actuator Types
- Electric linear actuators – precise positioning without compressed air
- Pneumatic cylinders and actuators – fast, simple and economical
- Hydraulic actuators – very high force in a compact size
- Linear valve actuators – for globe and control valves
- Spring-return designs – fail-safe positioning on power or air loss
Choosing an Actuator
Define force, stroke, speed, duty cycle and positioning accuracy. Look at what's available on site, whether that's plant air, electricity or hydraulic power, and what control signal you'll use. Environmental ratings matter outdoors and in washdown areas.
Centro can help you choose and size linear actuators for valves, dampers and machine motion.
