Over the past few weeks I have been trying to figure out how to choose a linear actuator for a simple mechanical setup where controlled forward and backward movement is needed. The challenge is not understanding what an actuator does but deciding which specifications actually matter most. Stroke length load rating and voltage all seem important yet it is hard to see how they work together when browsing randomly. I would like to hear how others approach this decision process especially when the project does not require anything overly complex but still needs reliable motion.
