How to Choose the Right Actuator Type
There are so many kinds of actuators—mini, standard, industrial—and I’m struggling to choose the right one. I want to match the right stroke length, force, and speed for my project, but I’m not sure how to calculate it. If someone can explain where to start or share a simple selection method, I’d be grateful. I really need help finding the ideal type.

DIY automation projects are a great way to learn how motion systems work. Linear actuators make it possible to add movement to cabinets, panels, or tools. I’ve been testing a few small builds and discovered that patience and planning are key. Understanding stroke length, wiring, and mounting helps prevent errors. Even small details, like choosing the right brackets, improve reliability and give the project a more professional result.
