What are the benefits of a motorized linear actuator with handwheel?
A motorized linear actuator with handwheel combines the advantages of both manual and automated control, including:
- Improved precision: With both manual and automated control, users can achieve precise linear motion with ease.
- Increased flexibility: If an unexpected situation arises, the user can quickly switch to manual control mode to take immediate action.
- Enhanced safety: The inclusion of manual control mode reduces the risk of damage or injury in the event of a power outage or other emergency situations when automated control is not possible.
- Cost-effective: The integrated handwheel eliminates the need for an additional manual actuator, saving money on equipment costs.
What are the typical applications of a motorized linear actuator with handwheel?
Motorized linear actuators with handwheels are widely used in various industries, including:
- Industrial automation: Used in assembly lines, packaging, and material handling to control linear motion precisely and reliably
- Aerospace: Used in aerospace industry, such as in aircraft seating adjustments, wing flaps, avionics, and landing gear systems, to provide a highly precise and reliable motion control, with the ability to override the system in case of an emergency.
- Medical equipment: Used in medical equipment for tasks such as adjusting patient beds, integrating into surgical tables, and robotic surgery tools.
- Machine tools: Used for precise positioning and tool control, such as in CNC machines and lathes.
How are motorized linear actuators with handwheels different from other linear actuators?
The main difference between motorized linear actuators with handwheels versus regular motorized linear actuators is the inclusion of a handwheel for manual control mode. Handwheels allow for adjustments to be made even when power is lost or in emergency situations. Additionally, these types of linear actuators are typically faster and more precise than manual actuators, making them ideal for highly controlled and automated applications that require accurate positioning and motion control.
In summary, motorized linear actuators with handwheels are a highly precise, flexible, and cost-effective option for applications where reliable linear motion control is essential.
