Electric push rods are widely used in industrial fields. The following is a specific analysis of their applications:

I. Application Scenarios 
Industrial Automation: In automated production lines, electric push rods are widely used in material handling, positioning, and lifting. Their high-precision positioning control and powerful thrust output can quickly respond to the needs of different production processes, ensuring the efficient operation of the production line. For example, in the automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, and food packaging industries, electric push rods are often used to adjust assembly platforms, lift and lower conveyor belts, and workpiece clamping devices. At the same time, electric push rods are also used in robotic arms, lifting platforms, and door and window drives to achieve accurate position control. 
Heavy machinery and engineering equipment: In the field of heavy machinery such as construction machinery, mining machinery, and port equipment, electric push rods are used to drive and control various moving parts, such as the buckets of bulldozers, the arms of excavators, and the booms of cranes. Compared with traditional hydraulic systems, electric push rods have higher reliability and lower maintenance requirements, making them particularly suitable for harsh environments and long-term stable operation. In addition, on excavator multi-way valves, electric push rods can replace traditional handles and hydraulic pilot controls to achieve more precise valve core shifting. 
Medical Equipment: In the medical field, electric push rods are widely used in the height adjustment and angle control of hospital beds, operating tables, and rehabilitation equipment. Their high precision and low noise characteristics ensure the stability of medical equipment and patient comfort. In addition, electric push rods are also used in wheelchair lifting devices and hospital bed moving systems, improving the ease of use and safety of medical equipment. 
Agricultural Machinery: In modern agriculture, electric push rods are used to achieve precise agricultural machinery control, such as the switching of irrigation systems, the height adjustment of harvester blades, and the control of tractor auxiliary equipment. They have good corrosion resistance and waterproofness, and can operate stably in harsh environments such as wet and muddy conditions, significantly improving agricultural production efficiency. 
Logistics and Handling: Electric push rods can be used for automated handling and stacking of goods, improving the efficiency and accuracy of logistics handling. 
Transportation: Electric push rods are also widely used in transportation, such as adjusting car seats and opening trunks, improving the comfort and convenience of vehicles. At the same time, in large engineering machinery or agricultural machinery, electric push rods are also used to lift engine hoods; municipal vehicles such as sweepers and garbage trucks also use electric push rods to lift their rear dump bodies for smoother operation. 

II. Functional Characteristics 
Conversion Function: The main function of an electric push rod is to convert the rotary motion of a motor into the linear reciprocating motion of the push rod, thereby achieving the pushing and pulling action of an object. 
Easy Operation: Electric push rods only need to be driven by electrical control signals, without the need for on-site adjustment by operators. 
Precise Positioning Control: Electric push rods, through motor drive and controller adjustment, can achieve high-precision positioning control, with errors typically in the millimeter range. This feature gives them an advantage in applications requiring precise control. 
Strong Environmental Adaptability: Industrial heavy-duty electric push rods typically have a high level of protection design (such as IP65 or higher), allowing them to operate normally in harsh environments such as high and low temperatures, high humidity, and dust. 
High Efficiency and Energy Saving: Electric push rods only consume energy when they need to move, and consume almost no energy when stationary. Therefore, compared to hydraulic and pneumatic systems, electric push rods have higher energy efficiency and are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. 

In summary, the application of electric push rods in the industrial field is diverse and extensive. Their high precision, high reliability, low maintenance requirements, and good environmental adaptability make them key components for improving the performance and efficiency of industrial equipment.
