Finding the right linear actuator for your automation project can be challenging. Every motion system requires the right balance between force, speed, and stroke length.Our Linear Actuator Calculator simplifies this process by helping you calculate actuator requirements and match them to the most suitable model. Whether for home automation, industrial machinery, marine, or DIY setups, it provides fast and reliable actuator recommendations tailored to your needs.
The calculator evaluates key inputs — including lid weight, box dimensions, maximum opening angle, and number of actuators — to determine the required force, stroke, and speed.It factors in force vs. speed trade-offs, torque requirements, and feedback compatibility to provide accurate, physics-based reference results. This eliminates the need for manual calculations or extensive comparison between datasheets, giving you clear, actionable guidance.
- Saves Time: Quickly determine linear actuator requirements without complex formulas.
- Reduces Errors: Prevent underpowered or oversized actuators through accurate load calculations.
- Optimizes Motion: Achieve the best balance of force, speed, and stroke for your system.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for DIY automation, robotics, industrial equipment, and adjustable furniture projects.
By using this actuator sizing tool, you can confidently select the actuator best suited for your automation project — improving reliability and efficiency in the long run.
