Aerospace Linear Actuators: Uses And Applications
A linear actuator takes energy input in a rotary form and converts it to a straight-line output to perform motion functions. The simplest example of a linear actuator is a common automotive scissors jack. Cranking the rotary handle clockwise turns a screw that pushes a drive nut, expanding the scissors and causing the jack to rise in an upwards linear direction. Cranking counter-clockwise moves it straight back down.
