Proper Care For Linear Actuators

To ensure that your linear actuators last and function efficiently, you need to care for them properly. This involves sufficient maintenance, lubrication and storage.

Linear actuators must be regularly inspected for any issues in operation. Actuators often require the occasion adjustment and tweak in order to keep oil properly distributed. As a rule, it’s always best to catch a problem at its early stages, so never hesitate to report something that doesn’t seem right. In order to function properly and avoid issues like corrosion, linear actuators must also be sufficiently lubricated at all times. The type of lubricant and the amount of lubricant you should apply to your actuator depends on its types and application. So, for the best advice, check with your manufacturer when you receive your product. Finally, in order to prevent dust and debris buildup, store your linear actuators in their factory packaging until you’re ready to use them. Make to check with your manufacturer about how long it is safe to keep your actuator stored, though.
