Linear Actuator - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462174 titled 'Linear Actuator
Simplified Explanation
The linear actuator described in the patent application consists of a threaded drive system with a nut connected to a cantilever tube and a leadscrew coupled to a motor. By rotating the leadscrew, the nut and the cantilever tube can be linearly moved. One end of the leadscrew projects into the cantilever tube and is connected to a piston, which divides the internal space of the tube into two regions separated by the piston in a fluidically sealed manner. The first region, on the side of the piston opposite the nut, is connected to a pressure accumulator to generate relief pressure using the first pressure source, improving the relief of the threaded drive.
- The linear actuator includes a threaded drive system with a nut connected to a cantilever tube and a leadscrew coupled to a motor.
- Rotation of the leadscrew allows for linear movement of the nut and cantilever tube.
- A piston connected to one end of the leadscrew divides the internal space of the cantilever tube into two regions, separated in a fluidically sealed manner.
- The first region, opposite the nut, is connected to a pressure accumulator to generate relief pressure using the first pressure source.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries such as robotics, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for precise linear motion control.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of achieving linear motion in a compact and efficient manner while also providing relief pressure to improve the performance and longevity of the actuator.

Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be linear actuators with relief pressure systems, but the specific design and integration of the threaded drive system with the pressure accumulator may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the integration of the pressure accumulator improve the relief of the threaded drive system?
The patent application mentions that the first region is connected to a pressure accumulator to generate relief pressure, but it does not provide detailed information on how this integration specifically improves the relief of the threaded drive system.
What are the specific industries or applications where this technology could have the most significant impact?
While the potential applications of this technology are mentioned broadly, it would be helpful to have more specific examples of industries or applications where this technology could have the most significant impact.
Original Abstract Submitted
A linear actuator having a threaded drive including a nut connected to a cantilever tube and a leadscrew coupled to a motor, so that, by rotation of the leadscrew, the threaded nut and the cantilever tube are linearly movable, and, regardless of the position of the cantilever tube, one end the leadscrew projects into the cantilever tube and is connected to a piston which divides an internal space formed by the cantilever tube into a first region on the side of the piston opposite the threaded nut and a second region on the side of the piston facing the nut. The two regions are separated from one another in a fluidically sealed manner. A relief of the threaded drive is improved since the first region is connected to a pressure accumulator to generate a relief pressure in the first region using the first pressure source.
