Bullet Series Linear Actuators

Q: What makes an actuator a bullet actuator?

An actuator is commonly referred to as a 'bullet actuator' based on its cylindrical shape resembling a bullet. While there isn't a strict technical definition for this term, it generally implies a compact and cylindrical linear motion device that operates similarly to other types of actuators but with a particular emphasis on its compact size and streamlined design. Bullet actuators typically feature a motor, lead screw, and housing encased in a cylindrical body, offering a combination of small form factor, high force output, and precise linear motion control. These actuators are often used in applications where space is limited, and a sleek design is desirable, such as in home automation, robotics, automotive, and medical equipment.

Q: Are bullet actuators suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, our bullet actuators have an IP66 rating which are specifically engineered to withstand outdoor environments effectively. The IP66 rating certifies that the actuator is entirely dust-tight and protected against powerful jets of water from all directions, making it highly resilient to moisture, dust, and debris ingress. With this level of robust protection, these actuators excel in outdoor applications where exposure to harsh environmental conditions is inevitable. Whether it's automotive projects, marine applications, agricultural machinery, outdoor furniture, or any other outdoor automation task, actuators with an IP66 rating provide dependable performance and longevity. Their sealed construction ensures reliable operation even in challenging outdoor settings, making them a trusted choice for projects requiring durable and weather-resistant linear motion solutions. So whether you're automating outdoor furniture for a patio, adjusting solar panels for optimal sunlight, or controlling outdoor equipment in agricultural settings, you can trust IP66-rated bullet actuators to deliver consistent performance in the face of outdoor elements.
