Linear actuator, x-ray and exploded in motion.
A 17-second product film for an electric linear actuator. The housing turns to glass, the lead screw, gear train and motor separate along their axes, and the actuator reassembles into the finished product. Every part moves the way it is assembled.

What the visuals had to do.
- Show the drive trainMotor, gears and lead screw are what an engineer specifies. They are the centre of the film.
- Stay premiumA dark studio look that matches a high-end product launch, not a technical manual.
- Work silentlyReadable with the sound off, because most product videos are watched muted.
How we built it.
The actuator was prepared from CAD with every internal part kept, because an exploded animation shows everything.
A glass-like x-ray shader reveals the internals first, then the explode moves each part along its own axis in assembly order.
The reassembly closes the loop, so the film can play continuously on a website or booth screen.
Where these visuals work
- Product pages and launches
- Distributor and e-commerce portals
- Trade show loops
- Engineering sales presentations

Questions.
What is an x-ray animation?
A view where the housing becomes transparent so the mechanism is visible while the product shape stays recognisable. It explains a product faster than a sectioned drawing.
How long does a short product animation take?
Two to four weeks for a feature film, including storyboard approval before animation starts.
