Abstract: The present invention relates to a linear electro-mechanical actuator for transferring a rotational motion to a linear motion. The actuator provides a piston being at least partly arranged inside a housing. The actuator further provides a transmission module including a rotating portion having a load-carrying surface and a non-rotating portion being operatively engageable to each other. The transmission module is adapted to transfer a rotational motion of the rotating portion to a linear motion of the piston via the non-rotating portion. The actuator further provides a lubricating member having a porous polymeric matrix and a lubricating material, the load-carrying member being arranged adjacent to the transmission module. Thereby, the actuator allows for lubrication of at least a portion of the load-carrying surface of the rotating portion upon movement of the rotating portion. The linear electro-mechanical actuator may not require, or may at least minimize, the need of relubrication.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a linear electro-mechanical actuator for transferring a rotational motion to a linear motion. The actuator provides a piston having an outer load-carrying surface and being at least partly arranged inside a housing. The actuator further provides a transmission module adapted to transfer a rotational motion generated by a motor to a linear motion of the piston. The actuator includes a separating member and a lubricating member having a porous polymeric matrix and a lubricating material, the separating member and the load-carrying member being arranged adjacent to each other. Thereby, the actuator allows for lubrication of at least a portion of the outer load-carrying surface of the piston by the lubricating material upon movement of the piston. For instance, the linear electro-mechanical actuator may not require, or may at least minimize, the need of relubrication.
