You push. It sticks. You reach. It hurts. That top shelf laughs at you. That “adjustable” desk fights back. At work the crane takes too long. The hydraulic line leaks. The job runs late. You waste time. You waste energy. You take risks you don’t need.

Picture a clean push at the press of a button. No pump. No air hiss. No mess. The rod glides out. It stops on a dime. It comes back smooth. That is a linear electric actuator. Stretch the travel and you get a long travel electric cylinder. Use more force and speed as needed. Make the move simple. Repeatable. Safe.

We at Jimi Technology Co., Ltd. build that push. We design and make high stroke electric cylinder solutions and heavy duty linear actuator systems for tough jobs. We also supply controllers, brackets, and smart parts. We help you go from strain to ease. From guesswork to precision linear motion. From waste to wins.

  • Problem: You lift and bend. You climb on a wobbly footstool. You tweak a valve that sits too high. At the plant you drag a fixture across a line. You need reach. You need control.
  • Agitate: Time slips. Backs ache. Oil drips. “Adjustable” gear won’t adjust. Hydraulics need hoses and seals. Air lines leak. You lose accuracy. You lose uptime.
  • Solution: A servo linear actuator or stepper motor actuator turns a screw. The rod moves in a straight line. That is linear motion control. You get fast and clean moves. You set points with a PLC. You watch feedback on an HMI. You fix tasks you hate with one click.

Why electric beats hydraulic and pneumatic

You get tight precision positioning. You get high efficiency and lower noise. You get easy position control actuator tuning. You gain clean operation with no leaks. You move only when you need to move. This is your electric alternative to hydraulic and your electric alternative to pneumatic.

We see 20-40% energy savings vs hydraulics. We see 50-80% vs pneumatics. Many clients hit ROI in about 18 months.

What counts in a long stroke design

“Long stroke” often means more than 500 mm. Many lines need 1–3 meters. Some need more. Your actuator stroke length drives everything.

Look at:

  • Load and force
    • From small picks to 200 kN lift. Choose a high-force electric actuator when you push hard. We also offer a force electric actuator option tuned for peak thrust.
  • Speed
    • Need fast moves. Pick a high-speed linear actuator. You can also choose a speed electric actuator where cycle time rules.
  • Screw technology
    • Ball Screw, Roller Screw, or Lead Screw. For high loads pick a roller screw actuator. For low cost pick a lead screw linear actuator. For balance pick a ball screw electric actuator.
  • Motors and power
    • Servo Motor, Stepper Motor, Brushless DC Motor, or Linear Motor. Options include DC motor linear actuator or AC motor electric cylinder with a Planetary Gearbox.
  • Feedback and control
    • Encoder choices include absolute encoder actuator and incremental encoder actuator. We support PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), HMI (Human-Machine Interface), and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). Protocols include Modbus, EtherCAT, PROFINET, IO-Link, and OPC UA.
  • Environment
    • Check your IP Rating. We build IP65 actuator and IP67 electric actuator options. Need washdown. Pick a washdown actuator or a waterproof electric actuator with a stainless steel actuator housing. We support food grade actuator specs. We also offer high temperature actuator and low temperature actuator builds. For risky zones we supply explosion proof actuator designs and ATEX certified actuator solutions for actuator for harsh environments.
  • Duty
    • Match your duty cycle. Select a high cycle duty actuator. Go with a low maintenance actuator to cut stops.
  • Control goals
    • Need force. Use a force control actuator. Need speed tuning. Use a velocity control actuator. Need precise stops. Use a position control actuator.

Key parts matter. Our housing, motor, gearbox, nut, bearing, sensor, limit switch, drive, controller, and braking system work as one. This gives you clean starts and stable stops. This gives you short changeovers and long longevity.

Real results we see in the field

  • A sorting site swapped hydraulics for long stroke rollers. Each unit had an 800 mm stroke and 15 kN peak. Throughput rose 25%. Energy dropped 30%. Errors fell 15%. The payback hit in 18 months.
  • A CSP solar farm set solar tracking actuators with 1200 mm stroke and IP67 sealing. They boosted capture by 2%. Failures stayed under 0.1% per year over five years.

The global electric actuator market sits near $20B and grows at 6–8% CAGR. Over 40% of new linear motion jobs now go electric. That is the shift in action.
