2. Rigid chain actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator

   Rigid chain actuator. A rigid chain actuator, known variously as a linear chain actuator, push-pull chain actuator, electric chain actuator or column-forming chain actuator, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator used in window operating, push-pull material handling and lift applications.

3. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers , and in many other places where linear ...

4. Linear stage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_stage

   Zaber motorized linear stage. A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a precise motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with "linear stage", though technically "linear slide" refers to a linear motion bearing, which is only a component of a linear stage.

5. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

   A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings.. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables, roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.

6. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

   A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   Gate Valve with Handwheel (L) and with Linear Pneumatic Actuator (R) A linear actuator opens and closes valves that can be operated via linear force, the type sometimes called a "rising stem" valve. These types of valves include globe valves, rising stem ball valves, control valves and gate valves. [2] The two main types of linear actuators are ...
