The world today has technologically promoted the improvement of business, communications and quality of life, and the outdoor power equipment market is no exception. The development of lawn mowers and tractors has made the machine more efficient and environmentally friendly. The electric linear actuator is a small component that can bring amazing benefits. Equipment using electric linear actuators can benefit from customization, improved performance, and reduced maintenance costs.


Evolution of outdoor power equipment


Today's outdoor power equipment (OPE) is quieter, cleaner, lighter, and has customizable features to respond to changing consumer preferences and demographics. Lawn mowers are an example of the full progress made by the industrial industry in the last century.
 


The first lawn mower in the United States was patented in the 1830s. As of 1885, the United States produced 50,000 lawn mowers per year. As society shifts to more land, space, and leisure time, there is a need for park and lawn maintenance. From the horse-powered lawnmower to the invention of the zero-turn radius lawnmower after nearly a century, the commercial and residential sectors continued to mature in the mid-20th century. With the advancement of technology, modern lawn mowers continue to develop in the direction of user comfort and environmental awareness. The reduced cost of batteries and electric alternatives has made it easier for manufacturers to incorporate these components, replacing previous hydraulic and hydraulic methods.


Hydraulic and electrical equipment


Since the US EPA began regulating the carbon emissions of lawn mowers in 2008, the outdoor equipment industry has continued to introduce more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for manufacturers. The conversion from a hydraulic lifting system to an electric linear actuator is a good example. . The simple design of the electric linear actuator can replace the entire fluid system, thereby reducing component and maintenance costs and any associated risks.


 
The electric linear actuator system can be easily connected to the device's current power supply or controller. The customizable linear actuator system can easily integrate positioning feedback, such as tractor seat positioning. There are many applications that can combine linear actuators with outdoor equipment. These easy-to-install adjustments make the equipment operator more comfortable and the equipment operates more efficiently.


Linear actuator applications


As the demand for electric and battery-powered equipment increases, so must the mechanical characteristics and accessories. For a variety of outdoor power equipment applications, the use of linear actuators ensures the best results.

GeMinG Chromium Linear Actuator Solution
HTW76 series
The HTW76 series linear actuator system is suitable for applications requiring durable, long-life solutions. The HTW76 industrial linear actuator is designed for harsh working environments and is ideal for heavy machinery, industrial equipment and off-road vehicles.




HTW79 Series
The HTW79 series is an outdoor linear actuator designed for durability and can withstand harsh environments. The IP69K protection level ensures that it can withstand the intrusion of high pressure water columns as well as dust and other solid pollutants. HTW79 is also equipped with an optional reed switch on the outer tube, allowing users to adjust the stroke length. Improved motion control and readiness. The HTW79 is a customizable electric linear fader with many different signal feedback options, depending on the application requirements.


 
HTW76 and HTA18 series
The HTA18 and HTW76 are compact and have a certain load capacity, which can also exert their performance normally in specific outdoor environments. More powerful motors enable the HTA18 to handle loads up to 3500N (787 pounds), while the HTW76 has a maximum load of 16,000N. At the same time maintain a compact installation size. In addition to high-efficiency motors,
 
An important component of GeMinG chrome linear actuators is the limit switch: it has multiple functions to protect the linear actuator from damage. The limit switch controls the fully extended and retracted position of the inner tube by electrically opening and closing the power circuit. These switches protect the putter from overhanging or retracting. In addition to cutting off the current, the limit switch can also be set to send a signal once it trips to provide an indication when it reaches a specific position.


Although a push-down clutch can be a good safety accessory option, it should not be used instead of a limit switch. Often relying on a push-down clutch to stop the motor will put a lot of pressure on the linear actuator, thus causing damage to the motor and the linear actuator, which will cause the equipment to require more maintenance and a shorter life cycle for a long time. All GeMinG electric linear actuators are equipped with limit switches, making the linear actuators more durable and reliable.


The development trend of electric machinery in the OPE market has created a demand for electronic components. Electric linear actuators provide precise adjustments for countless outdoor power applications. By replacing hydraulic components with a simple but powerful system, it ensures that the productivity of the equipment is maximized and long-term operating costs are reduced. GeMinG is committed to providing a rugged, reliable, fully integrated outdoor linear actuator system to optimize and improve modern machinery.
