Customers who trust our Linear Actuators
Are you familiar with these problems?
Noise issues from loud drive systems
In applications where noise levels are critical, loud drive systems are disruptive and affect the working environment.
High maintenance costs and short lifespan of drive systems
In applications where drive systems need frequent maintenance or replacement, high maintenance costs and short lifespans significantly increase operating expenses.
Space constraints in tight or compact applications
In environments where the available space for drive components is highly restricted, it's challenging to accommodate or integrate larger drive systems.
How to solve these problems with the linear actuator
Quiet operation
The actuator is low-noise and ensures quiet operation. This reduces the noise level in the working environment and contributes to a more pleasant and less disruptive setting.
Long lifespan
The actuator has a long lifespan and is low-maintenance. This reduces operating costs, as less maintenance is required and replacement is less frequent.
Space saving
The actuator is characterized by its compact design. It's ideal for applications with limited space, as its small size allows for easy integration into tight spaces.
One fundamental component in the world of drive systems: Our electric linear actuators
Linear actuators are ideally suited for all kinds of applications where tilt, lift, pull, or push movements with a certain force are required. Electric linear actuators are often the preferred solution when simple and clean motion is needed, which can be precisely and evenly controlled.
GROB's linear actuators are designed for small to medium loads (from 133 N - 6 kN). Furthermore, the linear actuators are characterized by a long lifespan, precision, and high reliability. Additionally, GROB's linear actuators are resistant to dirt, lightweight, quiet, and suitable for nearly all applications and industries worldwide.
Our pre-configured products are ready for shipping in as little as 24 hours.

FAQs about Linear Actuators
What types of linear drives are there?
There are mechanical, electromechanical, direct electric linear actuators (linear motors), as well as hydraulic and pneumatic linear actuators. We utilize electromechanical actuators in our drive solutions.
Which types of linear drive technology there are - GROB GmbH chevron_rightHow do electromechanical linear actuators differ from hydraulic or pneumatic ones?
Electric linear drives use electrical energy for motion, whereas hydraulic and pneumatic drives use fluids or gases. Electric drives are more precise and efficient.
Can I attach my own motor to the cylinder?
No, the MINI and linear cylinders are complete systems and cannot be expanded with other motors.
What does the IP66 protection class mean for actuators?
The IP66 classification indicates that the actuator is dust-tight and protected against strong jets of water. Ideal for applications requiring robust protection.
What's a linear actuator?
A linear actuator converts rotational motion into linear motion. It is powered by electric motors. However, linear movements can also be achieved through hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. Electric linear actuators are used for more precise movements.
In what environments are actuators with IP66 useful?
Actuators with IP66 are suitable for harsh environments such as industrial settings, outdoor use, or applications requiring water cleaning.
Do actuators with IP66 require additional maintenance?
The IP66 protection class significantly reduces the ingress of dust and water, minimizing maintenance requirements. However, regular inspection is advisable.
What options for spindle mounting (head variants) are available for spindle drives?
For the spindle end, the standard range offers options including threaded end, articulated head, ball joint head, flange plate, bearing flange plate, and pin. You can find corresponding dimensions in the General Catalog 2023 (grob-antriebstechnik.de)
How does the linear actuator work?
Typically, it's an electric linear drive. It consists of three main components: spindle, motor, and gearbox. When a signal is received, the motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, moving the gears of the gearbox. These rotate the spindle, causing the spindle nut to move outward or inward.
What are linear actuators used for?
Linear actuators are ubiquitous: in homes, offices, hospitals, factories, agricultural settings, and many other places. In hospitals and medical centers, you'll find linear actuators used to adjust patient tables, hospital beds, or operating tables. Other applications are in industry, agriculture, construction, and industrial automation.
