LA – non-captive The rotor drives the lead screw back and forth linearly. An external guide is necessary to prevent rotation.
LGA – captive The lead screw moves back and forth linearly with the linear guide serving as an anti-rotation device.
LSA – external The lead screw turns with the rotor, moving a nut back and forth linearly. An external guide is necessary to prevent rotation of the nut.

Linear Actuators Basics Nanotec linear actuator basics: types, sizes, lead screws, nuts, axial play, thread lead, self-locking and service life.
Webinar: Linear Actuators – Types and Function What are the different types of linear actuators and how do they differ? How do I find the right lead screw and why is the thread lead so important? The Nanotec experts will answer these and all other questions in our 20 minute webinar. This content is loaded directly from www.youtube-nocookie.com. We would like to point out that data could be transferred to third parties as a result. You can find details on this in our Privacy policy. Confirm and play We provide you with equations for converting torque into thrust and also discuss these topics in detail: Types of threaded nuts Axial backlash Criteria for self-locking Extending the service life When used with a closed-loop controller, the linear actuators from Nanotec can be controlled via fieldbus, clock & direction or analog/digital inputs. The feed force can also be controlled when the linear actuators are combined with an encoder. You can find further information on Nanotec’s range of actuators on these pages: Linear actuators with stepper motor.
