    A linear actuator is a mechanical device that converts various types of energy into linear motion to perform mechanical work. There are several types of linear actuators including electrical, mechanical, ball screw, belt, pneumatic, and other less common types. Linear actuators work using components like a motor, gearing, and a linear mechanism to translate rotational motion into linear motion based on the force and distance requirements. Design factors that must be considered include forces, precision, control, speed, and life.
