The electric-powered actuator includes a control device including: a motor angle estimation unit, and a reverse-input holding control section having a function of engaging an engaging part with an engaged part by controlling a solenoid to set the reverse-input holding mechanism into a reverse-input holding state while the electric-powered actuator is applying a load and a function of, from the reverse-input holding state, disengaging the engaging part from the engaged part to set the reverse-input holding mechanism into a reverse-input holding release state. The reverse-input holding control section includes an engagement intermediate control function section configured to control the estimated rotation angle such that the engaged part and the engaging part come into a predetermined positional relation within a certain period of time, when the engaging part is brought into engagement with the engaged part and when the engaging part is brought out of engagement with the engaged part.

A rotary actuator has a stop module configured to mechanically link two gear stages travelling at different rotational speeds when an end-of-stroke travel limit is reached, thereby causing the rotary actuator to bind because relative motion between the gear stages is impeded.

A lift vehicle comprises a base having a plurality of wheels, a battery arranged within the base, a drive motor powered by the battery and configured to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels and propel the base, a retractable lift including a first end coupled to the base and being movable between an extended position and a retracted position, a work platform supported by a second end of the retractable lift, and a linear actuator having a lift motor with a rotor. The lift motor is powered by the battery, and the linear actuator is coupled to the retractable lift so that rotation of the rotor moves the retractable lift between the extended position and the retracted position. The lift vehicle further includes an electromagnetic brake coupled to a first side of the lift motor.

A scissor lift includes a base, a platform, a lift assembly, and a linear actuator coupled to the lift assembly. The lift assembly includes a first support member pivotally coupled to a second support member and a third support member pivotally coupled to a fourth support member. The linear actuator includes a housing, a screw coupled to the housing, an extending member slidably coupled to the housing, and an electric motor coupled to the housing and configured to drive the screw to move the extending member relative to the housing. The housing includes a first mount coupled to the first support member and configured to rotate relative to the first support member about a first lateral axis. The extending member includes a second mount coupled to the third support member and configured to rotate relative to the third support member about a second lateral axis.

A drive includes an electric motor with a brake assembly. The electric motor has a rotor rotatably mounted via a first bearing and a second bearing and has a housing part. The first bearing has an inner ring and an outer ring, and the inner ring is received on the rotor, e.g., placed thereover, e.g., is positioned against a step or pressed against a catch that is positioned against a step formed on the rotor. The brake assembly has a magnetic body, e.g., made of a ferromagnetic material. The outer ring is received in the magnetic body of the brake assembly, e.g., is positioned against a step.

An electric linear actuator for a lift assembly of a scissor lift includes a housing having a first end defining an aperture and a second end opposite the first end, an extending member received within the aperture and slidably coupled to the housing, a screw coupled to the housing, and an electric motor coupled to the housing and configured to drive rotation of the screw to control movement of the extending member along an axis of extension. The housing includes a mount configured to pivotally couple the housing to the lift assembly of the scissor lift. The mount is offset from the second end of the housing along the axis of extension such that the mount is positioned between the first end and the second end of the housing.
