Since 1960, Burr Engineering has been an undisputed leader in the innovation and development of linear actuator products. In fact, more than one reason has kept us at the top of the linear actuator market. First and foremost is our foundation of knowledge and expertise in the industry.

We have been manufacturing and supplying linear actuators for over 55 years, and we work tirelessly to provide the best in product quality, service, price, and delivery. You can count on us to deliver exactly what you need! When purchasing from Burr Engineering, a customer need never fear they are getting anything less than the best. We offer a large selection of stock actuators; however, we are also able to custom build actuators to meet your specifications. These products all stay at competitive prices, even when ordering in small quantities. We manufacture several different series of actuators that are each designed to be competent in a number of different applications. The Compac Series of actuators handles loads up to 1,000 pounds and provides a wide range of speeds and capacities. The HD Series actuators are able to handle loads up to 2,500 pounds and are useful for the agricultural and lift table industry, as well as numerous others. The A Series linear actuators can handle loads up to 3,000 pounds and are especially useful for demanding applications where power is necessary.

We are committed to the excellence of our full line of linear actuator systems and components, and our service extends beyond quality products, providing an experienced team of engineers and sales associates. We are constantly in search of new improvements and additions to our current processes and products in order to stay ahead of the curve and competitors. This constant drive to succeed is what makes Burr Engineering a leader in the linear actuator industry.

12 Volt Linear Actuators

12 Volt Linear Actuators

A linear actuator is a device that transforms rotational motion into push or pull linear motion, which can then be used to lift, lower, slide, or tilt machinery or materials. They offer effective, maintenance-free motion control...

Electric Actuators

Electric Actuators

Electric actuators are devices capable of creating motion of a load, or an action that requires a force like clamping, making use of an electric motor to create the force that is necessary...

Linear Actuators

Linear Actuators

A linear actuator is a means for converting rotational motion into push or pull linear motion, which can be used for lifting, dropping, sliding, or tilting of machines or materials. They provide safe and clean...

Linear Motion Products

Linear Motion Products

High-precision, linear motion goods are essential components at the core of several items which are generally used in machine tools and equipment for manufacturing semiconductors. These items are utilized...

Types of Linear Actuators

Types of Linear Actuators

A linear actuator actuates, moves, in a linear, straight, line to complete or start a process. There are a variety of terms used to describe a linear actuator such as ram, piston, or activator. They are very common in...

Ball Screws

Ball Screws

Ball screws are mechanical linear actuators that consist of a screw shaft and a nut that contain a ball that rolls between their matching helical grooves. The primary function of ball screws is to convert rotational motion to linear motion. Ball nuts are used in...

Linear Slides

Linear Slide with Bellows

Linear slides, also referred to as linear guides or linear-motion bearings, are types of bearings that allow smooth and near-frictionless motion in a single axis. Machine tools, robots, actuators, sensors, and other mechanical equipment often require moving components in a straight line in any of the three-dimensional axes...

Linear Bearings

Linear Bearings

Linear bearings are a type of bearing that "bear" or support the load of the carriage during its single-axis linear movement and provide a low friction sliding surface for the guide rails. In a linear guide, the carriage is the component that travels in a straight line, back and forth, along the length of the guide rail...

Lead Screw

Lead Screws

A lead screw is a kind of mechanical linear actuator that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Its operation relies on the sliding of the screw shaft and the nut threads with no ball bearings between them...
