electric linear actuator

Electric Linear Actuator Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for US buyers who need an electric linear actuator with a named dynamic load through the complete stroke, a stroke in millimetres, and a supply voltage in VDC that the factory can restate. Share quantity and destination so we can request comparable factory wholesale quotes. This site does not sell from stock and does not claim original-equipment identity. A published Electrak HD table that splits full-load speed from no-load speed is a unit checklist dated 2026-09-17, not this service’s supply promise. Adjacent equipment families are out of scope here.

Product changeover questions

What changes between products?

Record whether the next fixture changes stroke, moving load, reversal frequency or mounting plane. Each change can require a different screw ratio, current draw and holding method. A no-load speed demonstration does not prove a loaded duty cycle at the buyer’s ambient temperature.

What must be cleaned or replaced?

Ask which limit switches, wipers, mounting pins and spare cables are included versus consumable, and whether a different controller or feedback cable is assumed after changeover. Those items often sit outside a base-actuator line.

How is the first good output verified?

Agree how stroke completion, extension time at the stated load and holding after power loss will be measured, then record recovery after an interrupted move. Keep that record so FAT language can repeat the same trial.

Replacement versus new installation

An electric linear actuator RFQ is useful when replacement geometry and new-build envelopes are split before factories guess. Stroke length without pin-to-pin distance, side-load path and work envelope is not a complete mechanical brief. We collect those splits so manufacturers quote the same envelope rather than mixing a bare actuator price with an installed motion package.

Existing process

If a hydraulic or older electric cylinder is being replaced, write remaining pin centres, rod-end type, and whether the machine still carries side load in the actuator rather than in a guide. A catalog stroke in millimetres without the retracted length is not a drop-in envelope.

Write the force throughout the stroke, motion direction, required extension time and mounting geometry so a replacement quote is compared on the same envelope.

Replacement checks that change an actuator application brief

Existing process

Name whether the current mechanism already carries side load on a rail. If the actuator is asked to take that load, the factory must confirm buckling and life assumptions rather than copying a dynamic load in newtons from an unloaded table.

A replacement that keeps the same stroke but changes holding at rest still needs a separate holding requirement at maximum ambient temperature.

Buyer questions before a comparable RFQ

Which procurement scope is covered by electric linear actuator?

Base machine

  • The actuator body, named stroke in millimetres, and dynamic load through the complete stroke, quoted as equipment until the supplier lists extras such as controllers or synchronization kits.
  • Standard mounting hardware and factory wiring as listed on the quotation, not assumed shop tooling for the buyer’s fixture.
What load acts through the complete actuator stroke, and which responsibilities stay with supplier versus buyer?

Ask the factory to restate moving load in newtons through the full stroke and to separate holding load. The supplier confirms ratio, current and thermal assumptions; the buyer owns process data, destination logistics and contract acceptance. Engineering sign-off is not transferred to this sourcing service. Read load-speed pairs and integration quotation items before treating two catalog maxima as one configuration.
