Electric actuators have become integral components in various industries, enabling automated motion control for a wide range of applications. These devices offer precision, reliability, and flexibility in operations, making them essential for processes requiring motion, such as robotics, material handling, and industrial machinery. A growing number of companies in the manufacturing sector are turning to Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) services for electric actuators, and one name that stands out in this area is Helix Automation.
What is an Electric Actuator?
An electric actuator is a mechanical device that uses electrical energy to produce motion. These actuators convert electrical energy into linear or rotary motion, and they are typically used in systems that require precision and repeatability. The core components of an electric actuator include the motor, controller, sensors, and mechanical components like gears or ball screws that convert the motor's rotational motion into linear movement.
