How to Size an Electric Cylinder Actuator
Electric Cylinders are sized based on their static thrust capacity, but selection of the best model and configuration of electric cylinder for specific applications requires further consideration.
-
First consider the mounting orientation and static load. Vertical mounting and operation permit a longer maximum rise (stroke) than horizontal mounting and operation of electric cylinders. For a given thrust capacity, maximum rise values may differ based on the screw type and diameter. Be sure to check Quick Reference pages.
-
Consider the DYNAMIC load. The speed at which the load will be moved is a limiting factor. Quick reference pages for are arranged from slowest to fastest operation of acme screw (ECA) cylinders and then ballscrew (ECB) cylinders. Scan down the list to the travel speed you need and then check the horsepower requirements to for the load you will be moving.
-
How frequently will the Electric Cylinder need to move the load? Electric Cylinders with Acme screws (ECA) have a calculated allowable continuous travel that limits duty cycle. Use JAX® to determine this value.
-
How long will the Electric Cylinder be in service? Electric Cylinders with ballscrews (ECB) have a calculated ball nut life, expressed in inches of travel, which can be used to estimate the life of the unit. Use JAX® to determine this value.

Electric linear actuators and electric cylinders have become indispensable components across modern industrial automation, offering precise, clean, and energy-efficient motion control solutions.
In manufacturing, electric actuators drive robotic arms, conveyor systems, and CNC machines, enabling accurate positioning and repeatable operations with minimal maintenance. The automotive industry relies on them for assembly line adjustments, welding fixtures, and quality inspection stations where high-speed, high-precision movement is critical.
In packaging and material handling, electric cylinders power filling machines, labeling systems, and palletizing equipment, replacing traditional pneumatic and hydraulic systems to eliminate oil leaks and reduce noise. The food and beverage sector benefits from their hygienic, contamination-free operation in sorting, cutting, and sealing processes.
Medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing utilizes electric actuators for precise dosing, tablet pressing, and automated laboratory equipment. In renewable energy, they control solar panel tracking systems and wind turbine blade pitch adjustments, optimizing energy capture through accurate angular positioning.
Compared to hydraulic and pneumatic alternatives, electric actuators provide superior programmability, lower operating costs, and seamless integration with Industry 4.0 networks. Their ability to deliver exact force, speed, and position feedback makes them the preferred choice for smart factories pursuing sustainable, high-performance automation.
Electric linear actuators play a pivotal role in solar tracking systems, enabling photovoltaic (PV) panels to follow the sun’s trajectory and maximize energy harvest throughout the day.
In single-axis tracking installations, actuators precisely tilt rows of panels along one rotational plane—typically east to west—adjusting tilt angles in real time based on astronomical algorithms or light sensors. This dynamic positioning can boost energy yield by 20–35% compared to fixed-tilt arrays.
In dual-axis tracking systems, two synchronized actuators control both azimuth and elevation angles, allowing panels to capture direct sunlight from dawn to dusk across all seasons. This configuration is particularly valuable for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants and high-efficiency PV deployments in regions with high solar irradiance.
Modern industrial-grade actuators designed for solar applications feature robust IP66/67 enclosures, stainless-steel components, and integrated position feedback to withstand harsh outdoor environments including extreme temperatures, dust, and humidity. Their brushless DC motors and low-power standby modes align with the sustainability goals of renewable energy projects.
By replacing traditional hydraulic or pneumatic drives, electric actuators eliminate fluid leakage risks and reduce maintenance cycles. They seamlessly integrate with SCADA and IoT platforms, enabling remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and precise synchronization across large-scale utility farms, agrivoltaic projects, and commercial rooftop installations.
Electric linear actuators are increasingly embedded throughout modern vehicles, replacing traditional manual and hydraulic mechanisms to deliver smarter, lighter, and more energy-efficient motion control.
In passenger cars, actuators enable precise power-seat adjustments—including slide, recline, height, and lumbar support—enhancing driver ergonomics and comfort. They also drive steering-column tilt and telescopic functions, tailgate lift systems, and fuel-door or charge-port release mechanisms, contributing to seamless human–machine interaction. In sunroofs and active grille shutters, actuators regulate airflow and thermal management to improve aerodynamics and battery efficiency, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs).
Commercial and specialty vehicles represent a rapidly growing segment. In trucks and buses, heavy-duty actuators automate side-step deployment, cabin tilt, and luggage-compartment doors. Construction and agricultural machinery utilize sealed, high-force actuators to control hoods, access panels, and implement positioning, eliminating hydraulic leak risks in environmentally sensitive worksites.
