No More Craning and Pulling — A Smarter Way to Move Your World

You stretch on tiptoe to grab the cereal box. The chair wobbles. Your “adjustable” desk refuses to budge so you crouch and your back aches. Doors slam, windows stick, and machines stall because someone still has to push or lift by hand. These small struggles waste time, slow projects, and drain energy.

Now picture a button. Press it. A shelf glides down to meet you. Your desk rises to the perfect height. A heavy panel shifts with quiet grace. That tiny click comes from a 24V long stroke electric actuator. It turns electrical energy into smooth linear motion control that reaches far, pushes hard, and stops exactly where you need.

Why Manual Effort Hurts More Than You Think

• Constant reaching strains shoulders.
• Repeated lifting triggers chronic back pain.
• Slow adjustments steal productive minutes every day.
• In industry, one jammed slide can halt an entire line.

The pain grows worse when the job demands long travel. A short jack works for eight inches. What if you need thirty, sixty, or 1 200 mm? A wobbly lever just will not cope.

The One-Click Fix: Meet the Linear Actuator

A linear actuator is your personal power arm. Inside you’ll find a compact DC motor, a tough gearbox—often planetary or worm—and a sturdy lead screw or ball screw. The motor spins, the screw drives a rod forward, and you get straight, precise movement.

Choose 24 V DC and you tap a sweet spot. It is safe, common, and efficient. Pair that with a long stroke and you unlock reach that hydraulic rams or pneumatic cylinders handle but without the mess, leaks, or compressors.

Key Built-In Features

• Limit switches stop travel at each end.
• Over-current protection guards the motor.
• An internal diode tames back-EMF.
• Potentiometer or encoder feedback reports exact position.

These details create a precision electric actuator that obeys your command, whether you need high speed, high force, or whisper-quiet motion.

Why 24 V Long Stroke Electric Actuators Win

1. Heavy duty electric actuator strength: up to thousands of newtons for push or pull.
2. High precision positioning: move a fraction of a millimeter and stop.
3. Duty cycle choices: run continuously or intermittently.
4. IP65, IP66, even IP67 waterproof linear actuator sealing for rain, dust, or wash-down.
5. Low noise actuator design for offices or bedrooms.
6. Energy smart. Current draw stays modest so your battery or power supply lasts.
7. Easy integration with PLCs, remote control, PWM, or proportional control.

What’s Inside the Box?

How to Pick the Right Model

Think through these four specs first:

• Stroke length. Match the distance your load must travel. Custom stroke options abound.
• Force ratings. Check both dynamic and static load. A high force linear actuator can push heavy doors, while a miniature long stroke actuator suits small sensors.
• Speed under load. Fast for solar tracking, slower for patient lifts.
• Duty cycle. Continuous duty for conveyor indexing, intermittent for a TV lift.

Next consider the setting:

• Operating temperature range for cold farms or hot foundries.
• Ingress protection level for marine or food wash-down.
• Mounting options: clevis mount, trunnion mount, rod end, or side mount actuator. Get the right mounting brackets for stress-free install.

Real-World Uses That Stretch Possibility

1. Industrial automation solutions: push, pull, clamp, or index on production lines.
2. Solar tracking actuator sets. Follow the sun with single or dual-axis mounts.
3. Agricultural machinery actuator drives greenhouse vents or seed drills.
4. Medical equipment actuator raises hospital beds and patient lifts.
5. Automotive linear actuator slides RV rooms and levels trailers.
6. Marine linear actuator opens hatches despite salt spray.
7. Smart home technology lifts TVs, opens windows, hides secret doors.

Jimi Technology — Your Automation Partner

We at Jimi have spent two decades turning great ideas into reliable motion. We design, test, and build every electric linear actuator in-house. Our industrial linear actuator line covers compact electric actuator bodies for tight spots through heavy duty linear motion giants that haul 10 000 N.

Every unit passes stress, noise, and endurance checks. We log the data so you can trust the numbers. Need a custom actuator design with special stroke or feedback linear actuator output? Our engineers tweak lead screws, tweak planetary gear boxes, or add Hall effect encoders in days not months.

Explore full linear motion systems at Linear Motion Systems or source rugged electric cylinders direct from our China electric cylinder factory.

Simple Installation Steps

1. Fix the rear clevis mount actuator end.
2. Align the load with the rod to avoid side loads.
3. Attach front rod end or trunnion mount actuator bracket.
4. Wire red to positive 24 V DC power supply, black to ground.
5. Route control leads to your switch, PLC, or controller board.

Care Tips That Add Years

• Inspect seals and bolts each quarter.
• Wipe debris. Dust raises actuator noise level.
• Lubricate the screw if the model allows. Many sealed types stay maintenance free.
• Check current draw. A spike hints at wear or overload.
• Use an emergency stop actuator circuit for fast shutdown.

Quick Buyer’s Checklist

• How much stroke and force do I need?
• What speed matches my cycle?
• Will I run continuous or intermittent duty?
• Do I require IP67 actuator sealing for rain?
• Do I need position feedback actuator signals for closed loop control?
• What is the total actuator price range after brackets and switches & remotes?

Compare electric to pneumatic vs electric actuator and hydraulic vs electric actuator options. You’ll often find electric wins on efficiency, cleanliness, and simple control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the maximum stroke length available?
A: We offer standard travel up to 1.5 m and can supply longer custom stroke actuators on request.

Q: Can I synchronize multiple units?
A: Yes. Our controllers keep four or more actuators within one millimeter.

Q: How do I calculate force?
A: Multiply load mass by gravity then add 20 % safety margin. Our online tool helps.

Q: Lead screw or ball screw?
A: Lead screws cost less and self-lock. Ball screws move faster and boost efficiency.

Q: What happens at the limit?
A: Built-in limit switches cut power instantly to stop the rod.
