Vertical linear actuators have recently been used to produce a novel design of 3D printer.

Some mechanical linear actuators only pull, such as hoists, chain drive and belt drives.

There are many designs of modern linear actuators and every company that manufactures them tends to have a proprietary method.

The following is a generalized description of a very simple electro-mechanical linear actuator.

Most linear motors have a low load capacity compared to other types of linear actuators.

The two parallel linear actuators have coordinated motion in such a way as to produce both x and y motions of the iris.

Another way of producing tactile sound uses "linear actuators", which move furniture (usually up and down), rather than shaking it.

The main advantage of linear actuators is that they deliver actual motion (ground excursion), not just vibration.

A 200 N compressive load was applied throughout the tests with the linear actuator.
