2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A traveling-nut linear actuator has a motor that stays attached to one end of the lead screw (perhaps indirectly through a gear box), the motor spins the lead screw, and the lead nut is restrained from spinning so it travels up and down the lead screw. A traveling-screw linear actuator has a lead screw that passes entirely through the motor.

3. Rigid chain actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator

   Rigid chain actuators function as rack and pinion linear actuators that use articulated racks. Rigid chain actuators use limited-articulation chains, usually resembling a roller chain, that engage with pinions mounted on a drive shaft within a housing. The links of the actuating member, the “rigid chain”, are articulated in a manner that ...

4. 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 ...

5. Actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

   The displacement achieved is commonly linear or rotational, as exemplified by linear motors and rotary motors, respectively. Rotary motion is more natural for small machines making large displacements. By means of a leadscrew, rotary motion can be adapted to function as a linear actuator (which produces a linear motion, but is not a linear motor).

6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

7. Electrical engineering - Wikipedia
