actuator

/ˈæktʃueɪtər/

An actuator is a mechanical component responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system. It acts as the 'muscle' of a machine by converting energy, such as electricity or air pressure, into physical motion.

1

The smart lock uses a small actuator to turn the bolt when you use the smartphone app.

The digital lock contains a tiny mechanical mover to shift the locking pin via the phone application.

2

Each hydraulic actuator must undergo a rigorous safety inspection before being installed in the aircraft.

Every fluid-powered moving part needs a strict safety check before placement in the airplane.

3

I think the actuator in my car's window is broken because it won't slide up anymore.

I believe the motor part for my car window is failing because the glass is stuck down.

자주 혼동되는 단어

actuator vs activator

An activator starts a process (like a chemical or social one), while an actuator is specifically a mechanical device that creates physical motion.

actuator vs sensor

A sensor detects information from the environment, whereas an actuator performs an action based on that information.

📝

사용 참고사항

The term is primarily used in technical fields like engineering, robotics, and manufacturing. It refers to the specific part that makes things move rather than the entire machine.

⚠️

자주 하는 실수

Learners often use 'motor' for everything, but 'actuator' is the correct term for components that create linear motion or operate valves in industrial contexts.
