How Our Linear Actuators Are Made

A linear actuator is a motor that creates motion in a straight line. It is widely used in machine tools and industrial applications. Recently, with the rise of electric linear actuators, more and more industries have begun to use them to automate their applications. Progressive Automations is one of the leading electric linear actuators manufacturers in the world. The manufacturing process of our actuators follows very strict guidelines, and they are extensively reviewed by our product and manufacturing engineers.

Manufacturing Process

The process of manufacturing a Progressive Automations linear actuator starts with the electric motor.  Each electric motor has two main components: The stator, which is a permanent magnet that generally stays stationary, and the rotor which sits in the middle of the stator and is subject to the magnetic field created by the stator causing it to spin in motion. Each part is carefully crafted from a fully automated assembly line. From winding of the copper coils on the rotor to the insertion of the shaft screw into the motor. Every step is carefully monitored, and each batch examined by our quality assurance experts.
