A linear actuator including an adjustment screw.

Abstract

The invention relates to a linear actuator (A) suitable for use in weapon mounting systems. The said linear actuator (A) comprises a housing (1); a motor (2) located inside the said housing (1) which provides the rotary motion; a screw shaft (3.1) located inside the housing (1) such that it remains on one side of the said motor (2) and one end of which is connected to the said motor (2); at least one nut (3.2) manufactured to fit the said screw shaft (3.1) and fitted onto the said screw shaft (3.1); and at least one piston shaft (3.4) one end of which is fitted into at least part of the said nut (3.2) so that it fits into the said screw shaft (3.1). The screw-shaft mechanism (3) mentioned herein also includes at least one adjustment screw (3.3) fitted onto the piston shaft (3.4) and nut (3.2) in such a way as to prevent the piston shaft (3.4) from rotating around its own axis.
