Hello. I have read that there is a difference between linear actuators and servo actuators. They both produce a linear movement, but “linear actuators” will always expand to maximum length, while “servo actuators” will expand until stopped. On the website, I see the “linear actuators” category. Where are the “servo actuators” category?
Hello @lupus,
The “linear actuator” expression is referring to the mechanism that provides you with a linear motion.
This can be accomplished by different types of motors such as “Geared motors, Stepper motors, Servo motors”
Usually, on each linear actuator’s page, you can find the type of motor used in this actuator.
This blog will help you understand the difference more:
This is an example of a linear actuator using a servo motor:
Let us know if you need further assistance.
