Linear Actuator Mounting Brackets

Every build is different, which is why we carry a variety of actuator bracket types to match your geometry and motion path. Common options include the U and T bracket styles for pivot-based mounting, plus shaft mounting solutions for applications where the actuator shaft housing needs added support or alternative mounting. Choosing the right bracket style helps maintain alignment throughout extension and retraction, especially in systems with changing angles.

The durability of brackets matter just as much as an actuator’s load rating. Our lineup includes heavy load actuator brackets and durable actuator hardware options designed to handle repeated movement and harsh outdoor environments. Using robust materials helps brackets maintain rigidity over time, which supports consistent motion and helps protect the actuator from unwanted stress.

Most projects benefit from simple, repeatable mounting. Many of our options are built for quick installs using plug and play mounting hardware, making it easier to position your actuator accurately and keep it aligned. If you’re aiming for a faster build process, quick mount actuator brackets can reduce setup time while still providing a secure fit through the included clevis and cotter pins.

Yes, our range includes options such as heavy duty mounting brackets that can continuously handle high loads up to 8000 lbs of static force.

A properly configured bracket setup improves stable actuator installation, supports alignment, and reduces side-loading, which can help the actuator run more smoothly and reduce unnecessary wear to extend its lifespan.

Start with your actuator model and your motion geometry. Consider whether you need a pivoting mount (like a U and T bracket) or a body-support option such as shaft mounting, often useful for longer stroke lengths. Also, check the required load rating of your application and available mounting space to ensure the brackets have the suitable specifications.

Most of our linear actuators have options for compatible mounting brackets, but not all brackets fit every model due to differences in clevis sizes, pin diameters, and mounting styles.

It depends on the bracket kit. Some options include screws, cotter pins, clevis pins, and multiple washers as part of their hardware, while others may come with less in the kit, which caters to different builds. Always refer to the specific product listing for what’s included.
