Linear Actuators

Linear Actuator

Linear actuators translate rotary motion to linear motion. They have the same features and similar applications as rotary units. This actuator configuration is used to control linear motion. It utilizes high performance DC motors coupled to high efficiency gearing. A ball screw or lead screw / nut assembly is typically used to translate the rotary to linear motion. It typically integrates a position transducer and fail safe brake in a robust structural design. Moog can couple the actuator with position loop servo control electronics. We can also offer the actuator with redundancy through the motor and feedback device.

Custom Designs and Specifications

Moog’s experience makes us familiar with numerous types of rotary electromechanical actuation requirements. We offer our customers a solution from dozens of product configurations or a baseline design. We recognize that it is not always possible to utilize an existing design, so we are equally comfortable in offering customization to meet individual customer needs. Customizations often include expanded angular deflection, unique mounting provisions and/or relocation of connectors or other mechanical parts. Moog works closely with each customer to help select the appropriate model with a focus towards meeting program milestones and goals.

Moog is committed to work with our customers in providing a solution to customer specific requirements if an existing design is not available. We are experts in design, development, qualification and certification. In addition to the hardware development, our sites include program management professionals who can support SDRL creation, milestone reporting and overall risk mitigation. Moog offers extensive engineering experience in mechanical, electrical and system disciplines to our customers.
