At Fairbanks Morse Defense, we present ourselves as a trusted provider of linear actuators engineered to deliver precise motion control, dependable force output, and long-term reliability in mission-critical defense and industrial applications. We design our actuators to perform in demanding environments where accuracy, durability, and repeatable performance are essential. By combining robust mechanical design with advanced control integration and high-quality materials, we produce linear actuation solutions that operate consistently under heavy loads, continuous duty cycles, and challenging operating conditions.

We approach every project with a deep engineering focus, working closely with our customers to understand performance requirements, environmental constraints, and system-level integration needs. Our capabilities allow us to design and manufacture both standard and highly customized linear actuators tailored to specific stroke lengths, load capacities, speed requirements, and control architectures. Through disciplined manufacturing processes, precision machining, and rigorous testing, we ensure each actuator delivers smooth motion, reliable positioning, and long service life while meeting strict quality and compliance standards.

We reinforce our product offerings with responsive technical support and a commitment to long-term partnership. Our team provides application engineering, system integration assistance, maintenance guidance, and lifecycle support to help customers maintain operational readiness and system reliability. By combining proven engineering expertise, modern manufacturing capabilities, and a strong customer-focused approach, we position ourselves as a dependable source for linear actuators that support critical motion control needs and perform with confidence in the most demanding applications.

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

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…
