Get behind the technology of spindles and gears in actuators

The spindle – a seemingly simple component. However, it is in fact the backbone of an electric linear actuator. The same is true about actuator gears. At the LINAK® Actuator Academy™ you can learn more about both the spindles and the gears of industrial actuators, and how they are directly related to the actuator efficiency and performance as well as service life.

Spindles and gears are two components you must know about, in order to fully understand modern electric actuators. To give you the basics, we have made a series of videos about actuator components where you can learn what makes a good industrial actuator. So, dive in and explore. In the videos below our expert Hunter talks about the technological details in spindles and gearing.
