They use those types of actuators in robotics, and also to automate all those fancy things in custom cars. Self opening doors, car audio systems with moving panels, etc.

They are typically gear driven. Not to be confused with the solenoid actuator that is used in power door looks that simply pushes and pull in a single pulse based on the polarity. Or a "truck pop" solenoid that contracts when energized.


They make linear actuator that can lift 100s of lbs. But those are pretty pricey.
