ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a simple, inexpensive linear actuator which is capable of controlling the displacement of the movable body by regulating the amount of electric energy applied without the necessity of detecting the displacement of the movable body with a displacement sensor or controlling the displacement of the movable body by feedback control in response to the detected value.The linear actuator comprises an electromagnetic unit which generates magnetic force in response to the amount of electric energy applied, a movable body which is displaced linearly by magnetic force as thrust force which is supplied from the electromagnetic unit, a spring means which applies a spring force to the movable body in the direction opposite to the direction of said thrust force, and a control apparatus which controls the amount of electric energy to be applied to said electromagnetic unit, wherein said control apparatus is so constructed as to control the rate of displacement of said movable body in response to the amount of electric energy applied, with voltage or current applied to said electromagnetic unit varying from that which generates a thrust force balancing with said spring force.
