Abstract
An electric actuator (1) comprises a housing (2) which contains a screw mechanism (3) and an electric motor (4) which is driveably connected to the screw mechanism (3), said screw mechanism (3) providing a linear movement in a rotational movement of the electric motor (4) and comprising a screw (17) and a nut (18), one of which is supported with respect to the housing (2), a sensor (28) being provided for measuring a quantity related to the rotational movement and/or the linear movement of the screw mechanism (3). A control unit (29) for monitoring and/or influencing the rotational and/or the linear movement of the screw mechanism (3) on the basis of signals from the sensor (28) has been provided.
