    What Are The Functions And Advantages Of Miniature Linear Actuators


    Since the performance of electric actuators is superior to hydraulic and pneumatic in many applications, Jointway Leader actuators can provide you with smooth and trouble-free transitions.


    Replacement of the Jointway Leader linear actuator is very simple, and the long-term benefits have been proven, including a smaller component footprint; better control and accuracy; reduced maintenance costs; energy costs and noise; and more environmental sustainability.


    In addition, Jointway Leader linear actuator can communicate with the machine's electronic control unit (ECU), reducing the need for multiple single-function controllers. These miniature linear actuators can accept commands and provide status information in return, such as position and speed, as well as safety-relevant data such as load or temperature.


    Better control

    Electric actuators operate with low force, reducing operator workload

    Joystick or remote control enables multiple motions, increasing production and improving operator safety

    Various digital and analog feedback options

    Low voltage switch option to interface with programmable PC/PLC controller

    Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for variable speed control


    What Are The Functions And Advantages Of Miniature Linear Actuators


    Higher precision

    better positioning

    better repeatability

    Immediate command response time (as opposed to hydraulic/pneumatic delay)


    Reduce maintenance

    No pumps, valves, or hoses, total parts reduction

    Self-contained units eliminate access requirements for location flexibility

    No need to resize or change to add components

    Travel limit switches for extended life

    No maintenance fluids, no leaks to repair


    What Are The Functions And Advantages Of Miniature Linear Actuators


    Lower overall system cost

    Longer component life

    Redundancy through manual overloading

    Battery powered, no parasitic power consumption, no system upgrades required

    Maintaining position requires no pump operation or current draw as electricity is only consumed when the load is moved


    Less noise

    No pumps, air pressure, or fluids means smooth, quiet operation

    No sound when the cylinder is not moving the load


    Clean environment

    Less total power is required to move the load

    Never needs liquids, chemicals, or solvents: no environmental contamination or spills

    Compact design is easier to manufacture

    Regional manufacturing reduces carbon footprint
