A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion, in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, i
DVD drive with leadscrew and stepper motor.
Floppy disc drive with leadscrew and stepper motor.
A mechanical linear actuator with digital readout (a type of micrometer).
A miniature electromechanical linear actuator where the lead nut is part of the motor. The lead screw does not rotate, so as the lead nut is rotated by the motor, the lead screw is extended or retracted.

A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus it produces a linear force along its length, rather than a rotational force. However, linear motors are not neces

…its longevity and performance. If the duty cycle rating is exceeded, then overheating, loss of power, and eventual burning of the motor is risked. A linear motor is functionally the same as a rotary electric motor with the rotor and stator circular magnetic field components laid out in a straight line. Where a…
